Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.
Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.
I'm in your team.
The production is awesome, art and all. I took the game with an extension (the first, European) because I like engine builder and, yeah, couldn't be wrong, right?
But for an unknown reason, nothing happened on the table. A good review point the problem, IMHO: It lacks of drama.
The extension make things more interesting, IMHO. Maybe with all extension Wingspan become a "complete" game, dunno.
From what many people say the Oceania extension appears to ameliorate some of the weaker points.
But for me, I'm not going to force myself playing a game I didn't have fun with again and again when I have literally so many other games I do enjoy playing.
It's more than fine if people do enjoy it but I'm not among that crowd.
I think there can be a bit of drama, if you consider the drama of "can I build my engine fast enough"... or maybe just dont add up points in your head until the very end and hope for the best. I do think there's a sort of vaguely chill vibe that maybe tamps down on some of the drama.
Definitely not too much of the sort of "let me bait my opponent into doing X which they think is a good move but it will actually benefit me" (well there's some of that but not a ton).
