Kick back for a chill night of Wingspan with Chicago BIPOC Birders! All are welcome, and no prior experience with the game is necessary (we'll give instructions and guidance for those new to the game)! Snacks will be provided!
Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game from designer Elizabeth Hargrave and Stonemaier Games. It is the 2019 winner of the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres award.
You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats (actions). These habitats focus on several key aspects of growth:
Gain food tokens via custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower
Lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors
Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them
The winner is the player with the most points after 4 rounds.
If you enjoy Terraforming Mars and Gizmos, we think this game will take flight at your table
Chicago BIPOC Birders is a local group of birders committed to providing space for Black, Indigenous, and other people of color to experience the natural beauty of our city and the broader Midwest/Great Lakes region. BIPOC Birders organizes birding trips, social gatherings, and education on birding for beginners.
