Just bought from this deal for 67 :-(

Starts Thursday.

Enjoy.

Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game from designer Elizabeth Hargrave and Stonemaier Games. It is the winner of the prestigious 2019 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 colours
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.

      It's actually not too bad.

      The rulebook will melt your brain but it is relatively simple once you start playing. One terrific thing they offer is a specific setup of the "random" cards for your first session to help you grasp the rules a little easier.

      • ESEMCE on 23/11/2021 - 16:39

        Agreed. But the actual gameplay is pretty easy once you've played a round or two.

      • regz321 on 23/11/2021 - 17:23

        Coming from Gloomhaven to this was alot easier

      The best way to learn new boardgames is to watch a YouTube video of it. There are some excellent tutorials available, and it's a great way to easily slide into gameplay.

        The best way to learn this particular game is with the swift start pack. Made learning a whole lot easier.

        Don't know if this Kmart version comes with it

      I'm someone who also skips complicated games. Scythe is a game that melted my brain (I only played it once) and I will never play it again.

      But Wingspan - I'd definitely play again. Helps to have someone explain the rules to you, which makes it much easier to learn. Game play itself is relatively easy. Plus it's got cute birds!

  • derpderpderp on 23/11/2021 - 15:23

    Crap I bought it too at $67….. Can I refund from Amazon?

    • braussie on 23/11/2021 - 15:25

      I'm trying their customer service, will update

      • derpderpderp on 23/11/2021 - 15:25

        Thanks. I was going to contact their customer service too…

        • AlexCCC on 23/11/2021 - 16:07

          There should be option to cancel the order in the purchase "details"

        • braussie on 23/11/2021 - 16:49

          Yes, as others suggested, they do not price match other retailers but were happy to cancel. Decided not to cancel (yet). If I can get my hands on the Kmart one, I'll return amazon's copy.

      I will answer this for you now.
      - Amazon does not price match
      - If the order is not yet sent you can can cancel the order
      - If the order is already sent you can send it back for a refund.

      • ATangk on 23/11/2021 - 15:39

        To add, the refund option for 'better price available elsewhere' should be free. Some other choices can sometimes incur a return fee.

        • bheart on 23/11/2021 - 15:53

          I think I tried this the other day and there was a $7 cost

          • ATangk on 23/11/2021 - 16:18

            @bheart: If you click the different options theres a preview of how much you get refunded. I thought the 'better price elsewhere' was free, but things like 'change of mind' had a $7 fee. Or maybe its a prime benefit? Not sure.

      • popsiee on 23/11/2021 - 16:52

        If the order is already sent you can send it back for a refund.

    Does this have the Swift Start pack ?

    • sakurakiks on 23/11/2021 - 15:38

      Doesnt appear to…! Would it be worth $18 anyway?

      • nekov on 23/11/2021 - 15:42

        Probably not but it does make me feel better :)

        Most likely will be sold out at my local kmart anyway, I'll stick with Amazon.

        How do you know it doesn't have it?

        All copies of Wingspan post-August 2019 come with the swift pack. From Stonemaier's Wingspan page:

        "This pack is included in the current version of Wingspan (STM910, see note on the back of the box) but not the original version available from January-August 2019 (STM900)."

      • ajm07 on 23/11/2021 - 16:20

        I'd pay $20 for the swift start pack I reckon.

      • yoquierotaco on 23/11/2021 - 16:56

        Is this the switft start pack? Looks like $8 and shipping is around $8.

        I have played wingspan a fair bit during the lockdown. I personally do not rate the swift start pack much at all, it came with my edition of wingspan. I've never used the card that suppose to teach you how to play (i learnt it from watching youtube how to play guide).
        Save your money for the Oceania Expansion pack. It introduces a new type of food and has a slightly reworked player board which makes the game better in my opinion. In addition, it has Aussie birds, including the Sydney Bin Chickens (who knew they actually had a real name… Australia Ibis).

        • Anders on 23/11/2021 - 17:39

          Nothing exclusively Sydney about the bin chicken…

        • treebytheriver on 24/11/2021 - 07:41

          To provide an alternate perspective, I love the swift start pack. I have lots of newbie board gamers, so having the "training wheels" of the swift start pack allows them to set up a mini engine that sets them up for the rest of the game.
          I only use it if they've never played it before.

      • Jofzar on 27/11/2021 - 10:25

    • smeng on 23/11/2021 - 15:59

      nice find a good pick up for $50

    • fLaMePrO on 23/11/2021 - 16:29

      Would you recommend that or the Duel version? I know the big difference is player count, but I'm wondering if it's hard to get people into this game (meaning the 2p version might get more playtime).

      • mathematicalcoffee on 23/11/2021 - 17:04
        +2

        you can't really recommend one over the other - Duel can only be played with 2. normal 7 wonders can only be played with 3+
        For me personally Duel is slightly more fun, but perhaps because I've played it less often/it's newer to me. I like the pyramid-card mechanic. And in full 7 wonders, while fun, you really still are only interacting with the players either side of you anyway.

        • fLaMePrO on 23/11/2021 - 17:06

          Ah okay, interesting. Alright I'll just see how I go. I saw Duel for $29 on Amazon, but it was from the UK so need to order something else on top.

          Cheers for the response.

            @fLaMePrO: Yea the duel is extremely fun but warning if you are playing with your kids - consoling them after beating them in the game can be daunting. I personally enjoy it 😉

            • fLaMePrO on 23/11/2021 - 20:31

              @smarter_fool: Or girlfriend? hahaha. She hates when we compete against one another, could be dangerous.

      • Jeffie on 23/11/2021 - 17:09
        +2

        7 Wonders is really accessible. That saying, I got Duel as my very first game and that started a hobby. While both are card engine-building games with the same brand of artwork, they're two very different games - much beyond just the player count - and I would really recommend both. It also depends on your library already but if has to be one, Duel (especially with the Pantheon expansion) is a brilliant, strategic two-player experience you cannot skip.

        • fLaMePrO on 23/11/2021 - 17:14

          Okay, that's good to know cheers. Well my collection includes quite a few larger games that are just too hard to introduce to a group. Stuff like Pandemic Legacy, Dead of Winter - they're great but not when we're just trying to jump into something quickly. Not sure if 7 Wonders would have the same problem?

          So we end up playing stuff like Quacks of Quedlinburg, Sushi Go. They're fun but on the opposite spectrum, just lacking a bit of depth.

          • Jeffie on 23/11/2021 - 18:29
            +1

            @fLaMePrO: Well, 7 Wonders may actually be the stepping stone you miss. Going by BGG, Quacks and Sushi are under 2/5 in difficulty (i.e. "weight"), whereas Pandemic and DoW are roughly 2.8-3/5. 7 Wonders rates at 2.33, which sounds about right because it's easy enough to get into but still has some meat to it.

            • fLaMePrO on 23/11/2021 - 20:27

              @Jeffie: Yeah righto, thanks! I'll suss it out.

      • Ezuku on 23/11/2021 - 20:14
        +2

        Totally different and play very differently.

        Regular 7 wonders is a drafting game that can sometimes feel a little luck driven at large player counts. It's not that deep really and can sometimes feel dependant on who you're seated next to. It's also good in that it plays fast at high player counts which is relatively uncommon.

        7 wonders duel is a brutal and very tight. Instead of drafting the cards are lined up in a pattern on the table. A lot of it is forcing your opponent to move and reveal and let you take a card that heavily advantages you. Similarly it's about denying cards that suit your opponent's strategy.

        Duel is the better game.

        Honestly i think 7 wonders is made obsolete by sushi go party. It has more variety, plays faster, and scratches the same itch.

        • fLaMePrO on 23/11/2021 - 20:31
          +1

          Yeah sounds like I want duel, I'm lacking 2p games so it sounds perfect actually.

          • Ezuku on 23/11/2021 - 20:36

            @fLaMePrO: Yeah, my favourite 2 player game. Can't play it with my wife though, too brutal.

    • Member 0230 on 12/12/2021 - 23:00

      Surprisingly (or maybe not) I was still able to pick up 7 Wonders for $49 at our local Kmart in Melbourne — there's at least one more copy at Fountain Gate and Casey, and "Low Stock" in surrounding stores.

    • Faro on 23/11/2021 - 19:07

      How does it go in local multiplayer? And how many hours have you gotten out of it?

      I've been curious and temped by that version and this one

      • ozbagends on 23/11/2021 - 21:33
        +1

        Local multiplayer is fine, you will have to pass the controller around when it's the other person's turn (it's not split-screen). But the pros are no need to set up, and you got a big fat screen with wonderful animations and music to play to. I think if I was solely playing locally I would go with the physical board game

        Online multiplayer is where the digital version shines IMO, although there are some issues with matchmaking (with people leaving games, etc). I've probably played around 50 hours at this point.

        I personally prefer the digital version, there's a narrator that reads bird trivia and bird noise associated with the card you are playing which I find are great additions.
