Once you know what you are doing you will be able to easily navigate the various screens of the game to perform your desired action. After that point though it works really well.

I would say that it will take most players around a game to fully grasp the interface. With either interface you need to press a button to see the other player(s) layout. The other more visually appealing interface separates the different actions into different screens.

One pretty faithfully recreates the boards from the board game.

The game actually includes two different interfaces. Even with the tutorial it still takes a while to adapt to the interface. While the tutorial is a little long I thought it did a good job introducing you to the interface. For this reason I would recommend playing the tutorial even if you are familiar with the board game. I will admit that the interface does take a little time to adjust to. Lets begin with the overall interface as this is one area where many video game adaptations struggle. Instead of spending a bunch of time talking about what I liked about the board game, I want to talk about the things that are exclusive to the video game adaptation. I would have a hard time not recommending the game. I wouldn’t really consider myself to be much of a bird watcher, but even the theme works really well. The game is more difficult than your typical mainstream game, but once you get a hang of it the game is quite easy to play. It is so rewarding and exciting when you are able to create a chain reaction that lets you take several actions on your turn. Building out your habitats is really satisfying. The game succeeds because it does a great job blending a number of mechanics together into a truly unique experience. Instead of wasting a bunch of time rehashing the same comments I will just give a brief overview. In my review of the board game I already discussed my thoughts on the board game. This basically creates a chain reaction of actions as you build combos of cards that work together to help you score more points. After taking your action you will also get to take the special actions from all of the cards that you have played to the corresponding section of your preserve. You can draw cards, play cards, gather food, or lay eggs. On each turn you can choose one of four actions. The objective of the game is to score the most points. In the game you play as a person in charge of a wildlife preserve with the objective of attracting the most and rarest birds to your preserve. Instead I am going to give you a brief introduction into how the game is played. The video game adaptation of Wingspan is pretty much everything you could want from a digital version of the board game.Īs I did a thorough review of the board game a while back, I am not going to go into a deep dive of how the game is played. As I am a big fan of the board game I was definitely interested in checking out the digital version when I was given the opportunity. Well the official digital adaptation of the board game finally released yesterday on Mac, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Since its release there have been a couple video game adaptations on Tabletop Simulator and Tabletopia which just digitally recreate the board game components. I checked out the board game version of the game around a year ago and loved it.

The game succeeds though because it creates an interesting blend of mechanics chock full of strategy and yet still being easier to play than you would expect. A game about attracting birds to your nature preserve might not sound all that interesting at first. Released last year (2019) Wingspan quickly became one of the most popular board games in the industry.
