Stonemaier Games
Wingspan
A board game about building bird habitats. Good for someone who likes nature themes and wants a game that works solo or with up to five people.
$55
You're collecting birds and building habitats across three different environments. Each of the 170 bird cards has a different ability, so every game plays out differently depending on what you draw.
It supports 1–5 players, and solo mode has its own dedicated components (16 "Automa" cards that simulate an opponent). Useful if you want a game that doesn't need a full group every time.
Playtime is listed as 40–70 minutes, though that's optimistic if everyone's learning. First few games will run longer. The box includes three separate rulebooks — one for the main game, one for solo, and one appendix for bird details.
Why it works
- Works as a solo game or with a group of up to five.
- 170 different bird cards — replays don't feel repetitive.
- Appeals to someone who likes nature themes or birdwatching.
Who it's for
- Someone who likes birds or nature themes.
- A household where not everyone's free at the same time.
- Someone looking for a game with solo and group options.
What to know
- Three separate rulebooks. Takes some reading upfront.
- First games run longer than the 40–70 minute estimate.
- Stores list it between $55–$65 depending on where you buy.
