What players say
the digital adaptation of a very cozy chill euro boardgame about birds. the bird art is fantastic with added animations and birdcalls for steam. since it's very euro, wingspan is mostly a game of abstract competitive solitaire. that's not my usual jam, but it works with the cozy chill bird vibe. good for chilling with your bros and talking avian smack. the mechanics, as adapted from the boardgame, are fairly simple...
