Grab your binoculars and prep your birdfeeders! After soaring through the skies of Europe, Oceania, and Asia, the world-renowned bird-collection game Wingspan is about to welcome a major new chapter. Stonemaier Games has confirmed what budding ornithologists everywhere were hoping for: a new expansion dedicated to the Americas is on the horizon.
A Return to the Roots?
While the original base game primarily focused on North American birds, this new expansion promises to significantly broaden the scope by diving deeper into the rich biodiversity of Central and South America. It’s a golden opportunity to discover exotic species with vibrant plumage and unique behavioral traits.
What to Expect in This Expansion
As with previous iterations, this box won’t just add simple cards. Here are the anticipated features:

New Birds with Unique Abilities: Expect mechanics tied to tropical climates or migration patterns specific to the Southern Hemisphere.
-
New End-of-Round Goals: To refresh your strategies and spice up the competition around the table.
-
High-Quality Components: New eggs (likely in brand-new colors) and perhaps new food tokens to match the Latin American ecosystem.
-
Solo and Duo Modes: Updated Automa rules to ensure a smooth experience, regardless of player count.
Why This Is a Big Deal
Wingspan is more than just a game; it’s a sensory experience. Featuring the consistently stunning illustrations of Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo and Natalia Rojas, this expansion promises to transform your tabletop into a true nature reserve. Whether you are a competitive player seeking the perfect engine-building synergy or a casual player who enjoys the art, this new journey is an invitation to travel.
