I bought Wingspan a few weeks ago and I've been playing it a lot. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite board games.
I swear there's more to it than "lay eggs in the last round"
Having a strong egg laying strategy is good but if you are only laying eggs in the last round you're doing it wrong and won't win against players who know what they are doing.
Exactly my point. To be fair, laying a bazillion eggs can absolutely win games if you're presented with the opportunity... but it's far an end all be all strategy. I've won plenty of games with 0-3 eggs on the board.
