When playing Automata-The Dunnock (European Expansion) has a blue Round End power of “Choose 1 other player. 7. What happens when you have no cards and/or no food. Hi, yesterday I tried to play solo vs 2 Automa. Ah, I see. Two questions from our maiden game yesterday: 1) once you choose to activate a bird’s powers, is it a one-time thing? So yes, that usually means either cacheing a food or tucking a card. Do you then count only the TOP cards or tucked ones also (up to max 5 points)? We can’t imagine playing without it, it’s brilliant. Knut: Keep in mind that the sets can include multiple eggs on one bird. If you do, draw 1 Bird Card.) So if multiple people's hunters succeed between your previous turn and the next, you can only activate it once. Jag har också svenska versionen och det är många fel i översättningen, särskilt i korten för nybörjarrundan. Rulebook verbiage mentions success as tucking a card or cacheing food – but not pulling from feeder. 4) take the 2 foods in the feeder and restock it after activating the hunting power. If you have 3 additional birds with at least 1 egg on them. As for your questions, you can only do that conversion one time. If I play the European roller sideways in the plains habitat and later want to play the common buzzard in the plaims, do I cover half of the bird to fill a plains slot or do place the buzzard sideways to cover the roller and take up both slots? So you have cards in your hand. Okay! When you move your bird to a new habitat as a result of its being to the right of all other birds in its habitat, do you need to pay a new egg cost? You’d have to let me know the exact wording on the bird you’re talking about, but players can generally decline a benefit. Yes! Thanks in advance for an explanation. Or does it need to be at least second in a habitat so there is another bird that it is to the right of? how often can a bird with a pink power i have activate? 1. Heather, one can take the “gain food from birdfeeder action” even if there are no birds in the forest habitat. I’m working on the assumption (hoping) that the first expansion will be UK/Europe. Player 1 has a pink power that allows them to gain wheat between turns when another player gains food. Yes, it’s linked at the top of the page. This has been addressed in the questions before (Look for the answer on January 7, 2020 at 9:44 pm, or search for the word “sets” on this page.) A Pink power is activated directly after the action that caused it. Hi Deborah! Right, you either activate it or you don’t. or Just spoke with the good people at 401games and it is all taken care of! However, there is no predation symbol on the card, so we’re not sure whether this counts towards “Birds with a predation power” or “When a predation succeeds.” Was this just an omission? When a card tells me to roll all dice that are NOT in the birdfeeder, does the reroll rule still apply when all dice show the same? The wild food icon does not count. Quick question that I think I know the answer to, but hoping to confirm: If the birdfeeder contains none of the [specific food type], you gain nothing. P.S. Cheers. This is a typo. Wingspan is a game that pairs well with a cup of coffee and weekend mornings.. If the brown power says “when activated” do you have to activate it whenever you take that action? It’s up to you. Does it just not count or get counted as a wild? A full-AI version of Wingspan is available from Monster Couch. The European and Oceania expansion icons on the cards are not immediately distinguishable if performing a quick separation of the decks. “Sets of eggs” counts eggs. It does not “copy” the power itself. You’re right, Pattie! Featured Components. Another way of thinking about it: find the habitat with the fewest eggs and count the number of eggs there. When can the face up bird cards be drawn, only when playing the “draw a bird card” action? 2+3+4. If the dice in the tray all show the same face (including if there is only one die) and you are about to gain food for any reason you may first throw all 5 dice back into the bird feeder”. Great, thanks. The Automa will gather birds and eggs, but they will only be used for game-end scoring. Does Wingspan only include birds from North America? Rob. This helps me remember they’re taking both of those spots. The two main changes come in the form of new player boards and nectar, a new food type. Can a pink “once between turns” power be activated by something that happens from a round end power? If you choose to discard a feather card in order to get an extra food on the gain food section. In the expansion, there are two new abilities that interact oddly. As I said, end of game scoring is explained von page 5. Is there a way we can feed back to you what we’d like?

At the end of your turn, keep 1 and discard the rest.” And the appendix clarifies, “These cards should be kept separate from the other cards you draw and your bird cards in hand. There are still no seeds, so Player 3 does not take a seed. Here’s what the European Expansion rulebook says about pink powers and teal powers: “Round end powers [teal] do NOT activate ‘once between turns’ (pink) powers.” Essentially, pink powers are activated on other players turns. No, quite the opposite: Wingspan is heavily language dependent. With the green end of round scoring. I really love the details and artwork. This doesn’t come up often, but I don’t see why not. We love the game, have been playing it for two weeks straight. 1. Round-end powers activate at the end of each round. So if a successful predation action activates a pink power, then the player with the pink power must complete their pink action before the original player continues doing actions in their row. The Wingspan rulebooks are available for download. The food I gained from the Gain Food action was a wheat (grain) rather than a rodent, after all. Does each set have to be in the same column vertically? I think the Swedish translation of the rules is quite bad. None of my birds say “everyone collects food” so I can’t help him on my turn. Please let me know if you still have questions. Thanks! Technical question. Do you know if there are any plans to do a portuguese version of the european expansion? Thanks John! It’s random either way. Brian: Prairie should be included for the cartographer. first. Brown-headed cowbird), do these only activate if another player plays their meeple in the Forest (for the gain food action) or the Grassland (for the lay eggs action)? Rodentologist is looking for the rodent symbol specifically. Yes, it is your choice to activate or not activate. But the stack increased 50% in size, with only space for approx 20%. If I do, also lay 1 was on this bird. The original player mats (and neoprene counterparts) are still important too, though–they’ll be used for future expansions. In this second expansion to Wingspan, we feature the colorful and awe-inspiring birds of Oceania. I’ve watched videos and it’s so confusing. You don’t double the eggs. You know you have the 7th printing or later (which include the swift-start pack in the box) if you see this at the upper right of the box bottom: Is the percentage on the Omnivore Expert bonus card correct? Cheers! Are you allowed to reset the card tray before drawing cards? I draw 2 cards from the deck and move to Clark’s grebe who let’s lets me draw 1 bird, if I do discard 1 at the end of the turn. In my example above, there are 3 eggs in each habitat (row). But we left the game out overnight and our dog *literally* ate the instruction book! Rule question for certain powers: If your mat prevents you from playing part of a power, does that prevent you from playing the full power? Thanks in advance. Corinne: Thanks for your question. Hi, I was very surprised when I understood how you intended this rule. They can be shuffled in with the other cards or used to teach the game (with the swift-start guide). (Just thinking about food blocking, etc). The Automa, however, does not play by the rules. Yes, whenever you’re about to gain a food token and all dice in the birdfeeder show the same face, you may reroll all dice. Also, in the appendix “The hummingbird’s owner decides which person gains the first food”. Sorry, but you’re choosing only between those 2 cards. Here’s what the appendix says about the Goshawk and similar birds: “If these birds use their power to tuck cards instead of paying some or all of the bird’s food cost, this counts as both a) tucking a card and b) a predator succeeding, and triggers birds with pink powers accordingly.”. Any errors were long since fixed by then. So if you want my help feel free to reach out. Hello! We just had a long discussion about this and can play by the official rules, but (a big but) we think it much more interesting, strategic from a gaming perspective, and ecologically appropriate if one counts the number of columns with birds in each habitat where each bird has at least one egg. However, the falcon does not have the predation symbol on its brown power. I’ve definitely seen photos of a fully sleeved set of cards fit into the insert. During each round, players take turns—proceeding clockwise—until each player has used all of their available action cubes. or only those with that specific symbol? Question about sets of eggs in habitats for end of round goals. Personally I used to dislike these birds the most until I started playing them by moving them and advancing down the chosen track. Is it the colored block you use each time you have a turn…and then return to the habitat at the Left most after you have completed your play? Hi! Check out page 11 of the European Expansion to see how Teal Powers are handled when comparing to the Automa. Hi and thanks for a great game! Does “Turkey” count as a geography term for the purposes of the Cartographer bonus card since the origin of the name is from a bird imported from the Levant? There’s a lot of quibbling over that “each.” So, to be absolutely clear, once a bird with a teal round end power is played, its power activates at the end of each subsequent round, not just the round in which it is played, right? Another example of an end-round goal that doesn’t apply is “Food cost of birds.” If it had been, say, “birds in X habitat” and Cetti’s Warbler qualified, then it would count as two birds for that end-round goal. One of his forest birds had the hunting power to “roll all dice not in the birdfeeder” (sorry I don’t recall which bird). I can’t find any hint on this in the rulebook. Or is it just in English currently? Will the game be released in other languages? I’m sorry you’re having issues with Wingspan Digital!

Yes, I will send a batch of them to Board Game Extras (UK) for anyone in the EU who wants them. It does activate immediately and you can activate all round-end powers remaining in whatever order you wish. I have 3 cards played in the wetlands and no cards in my hand. Also about order of operations with a vulture, but this time involving the automa: The automa activates pink powers when it takes from the birdfeeder. You are correct! Is that correct? You do not have to hold a card in your hand to discard. Since “snowy” is on the Photographer, I would say that “snow” counts. How is this regarding the “Sets of eggs in habitat” If you only have Cetti and another bird in the water habitat, does Cetti count double so that you can get 3 sets if you have 3 birds in each of the other two habitats. Hi Scotty! Can I take one and reroll all the dice (all the same rule) or do I have to take the two and the reroll? Does this basically mean that whenever I choose to gain a food I can immediately gain another token of the same type? What about Aussie birds? You may also lay one egg on one additional bird.” Does that mean that you cannot put two eggs on one bird with a cavity nest when you play this card? (By the way, in Japanese version, the power is changed to “gain 1 [specific food]”.). When the card says “when another player takes the lay egg action, this bird lays one egg on another bird with a cavity nest” can you lay it on a star nest in addition to the cavity nest? If you’re ever instructed to draw a bonus card, it will explicitly say so. 1. Also as printed in the rules, you gain 1 VP per tucked card (NOT the VP value on those cards). You should consider it for future printings since that little detail is a such great improvement. Hi again, Therese! the way it is written enables 2 interpretations: Hi Line! :), Expansions would be awesome! Repeater Because it’s referring to “a second bird,” it needs to go in the same habitat as the House Wren. They are activated when you take one of the three main actions on your board, and your action cube travels form right to left, touching each bird on its way over. (maybe all these are all ready indicated on all the cards that have this, but I haven’t looked through all.) :) I saw the poll, and I’m sure Elizabeth will too. For example if I have 3 birds in hand and 2 of them have the above-mentioned ability, as long as I can pay the costs involved with playing them, am I able to play out my hand that turn? Thank you for your questions! Thanks for your answers and for the best game ever. Or is it just a shift in position? I feel like this is a very stupid question (took three games for us to get most of the rules, we think): is it true that in a game you deal only ONCE on the first round? (E.g. If not how does one show that a particular power has been activated? Hi Gabrielle! So there is no official Swedish rulebook. I missed your question. What do you think? It is listed in the rules under “Flocking Powers”. With the bonus cards, when it says 2 points per bird that eats a fish, does that also apply to birds with the colorful circle (any food)? “Once between turns” is just shorthand for “resets after your turn.”. The 2-for-1 exchange can only be done when paying the food cost to play birds. because I wasn’t sure if I understood it right. Wingspan Oceania Expansion Giveaway. If you have no cards at the end of your turn, you don’t need to tuck a card. I’ve never seen anyone decline, but going with the general rule that a player can decline a benefit, I’m going to say any player can decide not to take a food from the feeder during the activation of Anna’s Hummingbird (they of course won’t get a 2nd chance to take food during that single activation). Nope, you can activate all round-end powers that are available, even if they’re added during that round-end. Example: Forest: 2 cards (2 eggs, 1 egg), Grassland 2 cards (2 eggs, 1egg), Wetland: 1 card (3 eggs). I’m going to explain it in a different way and then go back to how the rule book explains it. This second expansion to Wingspan focuses on birds in Australia and New Zealand. There’s debate between a few of my friends regarding the nectar feature in wingspan Oceania. To clarify #1, If Greylag Goose is in your hand, does it count as 2 birds in your hand? Should I get two points for that even though it doesn’t have the rat symbol specifically? Thanks. We let that player take the action as soon as the turn is finished, but before any rounds can end. We reviewed the rules on Page 8 (Types of Nests) in the rule book and Page 8 (Egg-Laying Powers) in the Appendix, but still disagreed. :O. Thanks, love the game! You may choose yourself first. Does the insert fit sleeved cards? Later, I activated the repeat bird and moved it to a new habitat, thus also freeing the migrating bird to move. It’s a bit love but was totally worth it. I know it is a cost thing, but I’d sooner see cloth bags for the eggs and food tokens, since there are several of these. The size is fine if shape or color were altered. 2. So if you don’t want to tuck a card, you wouldn’t activate that power. you know, it’s nice to get replacements for the 2 cards with errors in the numbers, but the art mistake is just as important.
