Beautiful and wonderful game! My family and I are huge fans of the tabletop version so I was very excited to have a digital version since it hard to get people together lately. PROS: Just like the source material, the visual style and artwork is wonderful. The subtle puppet animations for each bird are a cute touch, and the narrated bird facts are honestly the highlight for me. -The game has a nice assortment of tooltips to help you through phases and card effects. It’s very nice so you don’t have to keep consulting the rule sheet if you haven’t played for awhile. -Playing against the AI is enough a challenge to just kill some time, and it has an online mode, which I intend to try soon. -It’s cheap! If you've had your eye on the physical copy and were put off by the price point, or had issue getting it when the stock was limited, digital may be the answer! - It’s a very faithful recreation of the board game. CONS: The interface is a tad cluttered, and the controls are not intuitive. After playing a practice game, they came to me easy enough. - I had a couple bugs where I tried resolving too many effects at once (I think) and the game would not proceed. Reloading the auto save from the home menu fixed it. I chalk that up to something a simple patch update could fix. - This version only has the base game, 170 birds. It’s plenty to play with for now, but I hope for quick updates to add Eurasia and Oceania expansions so the digital game doesn’t feel too far behind the physical one. THOUGHTS: Some games you play because they are challenging and competitive and others you get because they make you feel good. WINGSPAN is definitely the latter. Settle in for some chill music, bird songs, and did-you-know bird facts! :)
