The production quality of this show doesn't get the praise it deserves... There are very few youtube board game let's play's that get to this level of production quality. The audio is great, the shots are well planned out (for a multi cam setup at least). Great personality's around the table without them being overly attention hungry. Really love the atmosphere of this show.
@@davidarnott6085 You're actually the reason why I have 1/2 if not 3/4 of the games in my current collection. I've watched many of the play throughs with you in it doing the rules and before I know it the game somehow ends up in my collection lol.
Nice explanation of the game. I felt like I was sitting across the table from Dave; the experience was friendly and engaging, and had everything I needed. Thanks you all!
I think the way round 4 bonus goals was scored was incorrect. I interpreted the three eggs + the habitat, as how many sets of three per bird in each habitat does the player have. The players scored themselves with 5 goal points but yellow player only had 1 set of 3 Eggs on 1 bird and red had 2 sets. This video helped me learn the game. Reading 12 pages of instructions really makes someone question if it’s worth it. The video made it easier.
This game is so beautiful and super fun to play. Once you get a good engine going, it’s full steam ahead. I’ve won tremendously and lost catastrophically all based on eggs 😂
I love this game and it's funny to see in the beginning they kept making the same small mistakes I see most new players make. Wanting to trigger birds when playing them, taking the dice instead of the tokens.
Exactly. That bothered me also. There is a completely different word 'Cachet' which is pronounced the way they did, but it means something completely different (it's a mark or a seal).
Just some funny moments, 22:47 Just laughing because he has Killdeer, one of the top 4 cards in the game to get in hand. (there are 170 cards) 25:00 More laughing at not realizing killdeer is good. 28:35 Pie Billed Grebe really great card for early card draw. (nice pickup) but... wheres your food source birds? 57:00 Killdeer gets played in wrong habitat (put it in grasslands) This way you can get resources out of current habitat and save turns! Anyways nicely done by all.
Ich würde sooo gern mal mit euch ein schönes großes Brettspiel spielen wollen. Ich sehe eure Videos gern und habe selber einige dieser Spiele. Bitte macht so weiter^^
Monica Pereira those are GeekUp bits from here: boardgamegeekstore.com/ . The Wingspan bits are being reprinted right now but due to return sometime after September. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln
Correction for Lincoln and Deborah (at the 28:05 mark)... ...Deborah, you're thinking of a Trilobite not a Troglodyte! A troglodyte is an ancient cave dwelling person...a "caveman". In Dungeons & Dragons...it's a reptilian, humanoid cave-dweller.
She seems like such a cool person. I thought she'd be nice from True Blood - sometimes I think you can see beyond the character someone plays into what someone is actually like - and she seems like she'd be the nicest friend!
Regarding caching food on birds, I do not believe you can put that in your supply or am I wrong? Rules/Appendix make no note of this unless I missed it.
There are 2 different types if you take it from the supply you cache it, and if you get it from the bird feeder you have the option to keep it in your supply.
There are bird cards that state grabbing a specific food from the supply and put it on the bird or just put it into your own supply by saying take said food and having a "YOU MAY" cache said food on that bird. When you take the said food you can either put it in your supply and use it to play other birds later OR put it on that bird for a point at the end of the game.
The outcome could have been totally different if Dave remembered the rule allowing you to spend 2 of your food for any other single food for bird costs as there were a number of times they were trying really hard to get certain foods.
Well he did make that pretty clear during the initial rules explanation and also reminded everyone during the game as well. You can only bring it up so many times. Either it slipped their minds from time to time, human error, or they just simply were hoping for specific food for other reasons. I.e. they wanted to keep the other food they had or maybe were just making passing commentary "Aw man, I was hoping for fish". Not that it was soul crushing that fish didn't come up, and not that they were unaware they could trade two other resources for a fish, they are just making generic exclamations during the game just for the sake of saying something.
This episode finally convinced me to pick up this game and I absolutely love it. It even got a few family members who dont normally play games to the table since they are both avid bird lovers. Thank you for all the seasons of Gamenight! Ya'll do such a great job and even though my wallet weeps at times it has helped my family and friends come together more often through this great hobby.
I'm a person that needs to watch the game being played before I know if my group will enjoy a game. I appreciate the effort you guys made to make this video, thank you!!!
I was listening to an NPR show where a guest commented that he and his family played boardgames sometimes instead of watching TV. He said they played a lot of Ticket To Ride and Wingspan. My daughter and I have been addicted to Ticket to Ride and play it several times a day sometimes. I pulled off the road and bought this from Amazon. We are getting ready to play, after watching some videos. Can't wait to give it a whirl!
“Dicey” comes from “dice,” the plural of “die,” the little spotted cubes of chance used in many games. A mission that was “dicey” to the RAF pilots was fraught with danger, and their safe return was as uncertain as a roll of the dice they often used to pass their time on the ground.
Wow. I watched an instructional on this game on another channel, I won't name because I normally like a lot, and couldn't follow this game at ALL. His video was only 16 mins, but the points you make, make all the difference in understanding the concepts. Great job! I couldn't expect it to be better! I'm talking about the instructional part. I will just watch the other portion, of the play through myself. Maybe. I would rather play, but I will watch it until I'm sure I can play and help others after they see the tutorial at the beginning. But the instruction so far as been fantastic! Hats off to you!
I just started watching "GameNight!", hope Deborah will participate in many episodes; she really makes this the game fresh and happy! Certainly I am happy with all participant, but she is the best. Thank you for this, and all the other "GameNight!" videos!
At 27:11 Dave made a mistake, he kept 3 birds and 3 food tokens. When the rules state that you must either keep 3 birds and 2 food tokens or 2 birds and 3 food tokens etc.
Sure. The other mistake is choosing the first player BEFORE player have drafted thier cards/food. It could be seen how great advantage first player would have planning his first play knowing what to discard, food to pick or card to draw.
39:50 another mistake. You can play another bird only in the same habitat. That one allow you to choose a habitat, but not "send" the other bird to another habitat. You can play either in forest or grasslands, but both should be played at the same habitat.
In this case "cache" sounds like "cash". Cache means "a group of things that are hidden," and entered English in the 1700s. It can also mean cache memory, or "a part of a computer's memory where information is kept so that the computer can find it very quickly." This word is pronounced \CASH\. Cachet has several meanings. It can mean "prestige," "medicine prepared so that it can be swallowed," or "an official seal," the oldest meaning of the word in English, first used in the 1600s. It is pronounced \cash-AY\.
There was a break in the action, when they come back he's saying it correctly. I'm assuming she said "hey, let's fix this before you say it 10 more time incorrectly." He took the tip, just not on camera.
I just like this crew... they would be welcome at my table any time, and my friends wouldn't mind if I said I was bringing one of them over. Good gamers, the lot of them.
Love Deborah on the show..I am curious though how she came to be on it. An affiliation or friendship with one of the regulars? A Geek & Sundry connection perhaps?
She hosted/was the dungeon master for Relics and Rarities on Geek and Sundry, and also played a series regular on True Blood. I believe she was on a couple episodes of Critical Role as well.
Great review, superb production and Dave... what an awesome talent to be able to explain a game to others!! Its a complex game and the rules are not easy to get but you explained everything so neatly!
For some reason I always see Lincoln as Dana Carvey's SNL character "Garth" from Wayne's World. This episode definitely enforced and solidified that idea. "Hey Wayne". "Yes Garth"? "Will you teach us how to play SCHWINGSpan"? Lolz
Thanks for this video! I think Lincoln forgot to use the 'when played' ability of his second bird at 39:49. This would have gotten him another bonus card, which might have helped him approach Dave's score.
Some birds in real life are not picky with what type of nest they build, and make different kinds of nests, to suit the location. Those birds, that are in the wingspan game, will typical have a star nest. And this video is a very good explanation of the game.
they dont have the forward momentum and entertaining energy of will wheaton but this is the only other board game show ive come across thats actually watchable (i genuinely mean this as a compliment)
Deborah: I think my strategy here will be to just go for birds that I think are pretty... Lincoln: Oh look at this horned Lark Deborah: Ah, see this is the problem though Lincoln and Deborah together: There're all really pretty @23:14
This is my first time watching a playthrough of this superhyped game. I really like the looks of it and it isn't over complicated. Definitely have to give this one a try. Love the interaction of the group on this one also.
Deborah, are you Jessica in True Blood? I kept on telling myself that you looked so familiar and I couldn't place it for a few minutes, until it hit me! So cool if you are 😀 I love that you enjoy playing board games!
I loved the teacher! He is good at explaining the game. I know I would have been frustrated without his wonderful tutorial. Now I can be a beginner at Wingspan. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for this. I watched a couple other videos that just described the game play and kind of got it while reading the instructions. However, this is what I needed! You explained the game really well to begin with and then getting to y’all actually play it is so helpful. Having frown up playing a lot of different board games, I never realized how much I needed to see a game played to get it because I had much older brothers who taught me by letting me watch and then playing games with me. This is exactly what I needed. I can’t wait to teach my kids how to play (not that I couldn’t wait to teach them, I was just nervous at the seeming complexity of it. I love birds and was pretty excited when I saw this game at a game shop but the price was a bit high at the time, but when my wife found it on sale, she snapped it up after my talking about how interesting it looked).
Was this filmed before or after Deborah was in the Dare Devil tv show? Would you mind revealing what the connection here is and how this episode came to be? I’m just curious because I loved the show and - of course - love this carefully made video! All the best to everyone involved and thank you so much for the excellent content!!
Deborah started appearing on our show after Daredevil finished filming. You can see how she became part of our group on our Green Team Wins/500th episode from a few weeks back. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln
39:46 I think you made a mistake, someone asked on a forum with one of the game's creators and they said *the second bird actually must be played in the same habitat as the house wren*. I made the same mistake too when I first played.
This game is AMAZING. I own it and love playing it EVERY chance that I can. The only mess up was at the start of the game where both Lincoln and Dave kept 3 cards and 3 food instead of what's alloted at the start. Otherwise great run through.
bcmaledragon - yes agreed but it is a bit sad, that taking eggs at the end is getting you more points than trying to build another cool bird because you then don‘t have enough time to fill it with eggs I had rounds where one player took eggs every time in the last round and got like 25 eggs Did you encounter these phenomenon?
@@schoko-fan4370 I have played the game around 7-8 times and everytime except once, the person who scored the most with eggs won the game. In the one exception, the person was second. Unless we are prone to a lot of groupthink, it seems the egg strategy on the last round is necessary to win.
Very late reply, but I can only recommend getting the Oceania expansion. The lay eggs action is less overpowered and makes the game more exciting until the very last round!
In the beginning you are supposed to discard one food resource for every bird you KEEP not Discard. COMBINED at the beginning you should have 5 bird cards and resources.
Thank you very much for all 4 people, you people saved our time to explain easily about this game with multiple cam views and good audio quality. your team work is highly Appriciated!
This is such a good quality video and tutorial, we have been playing wingspan for a while but really helps to refresh! Have you done similar videos for new expansion packs? Question at 51.38 the bird moves from habitat, but was not ALREADY to the right of bird should it not be before moving and then would you not ‘walk back’ on the row you have moved too to take advantage of extra brown activation powers OR do you go back to original row, this card always confuses me.
This channel is amazing! The step by step description at the starts awesome! And the playthrough is incredible, answering lots of questions! Thanks for sharing...
hey gamenight you should replay wingspan with the swift start pack and European and Oceania Expansions, there is a lot of new gameplay elements, like Round-End Abilities, or birds who are play sideways and takes 2 spaces instead of 1or predator birds who only can be played on top of another bird instead of at free space, in the habitats
We watched several videos for Wingspan before playing it including this one. I've played a number of euro-board games but am no expert and my wife is a very casual board gamer, at best. We really enjoyed this game and are looking forward to playing it again.
It would be great if you could somehow zoom in on the cards - especially during the explanation. The icons are too small to see what you are referring to. Thanks.
I watched this whole thing and kept thinking I knew Deborah. She seemed so familiar to me. I figured she reminds me of someone I know.. then it hit me! Would have never guessed. #trueblood
What an awesome video. Highly agree that the professional touch to this video made the difference for me, I watched the entire video in two sittings. This should be a required watch to learn the game. I started with the IOS version and really didn’t get it until I watched this. Plus we are going to start a game night at work and Wingspan was on my list, I think we will enjoy it.
Always so refreshing to watch this channel and the no-nonsense playthroughs, which can't be said of many gaming channels these days. Wingspan finally became available here in Sweden at an online store, and there was nothing to wait for. Production quality is amazing from eggs to rulebook to you name it. The cards seem to be 100% plastic, and I think that would be the first time I see that in a (non poker-related) board game, and I of course mean that in a good way.
This game is probably the most well-balanced game I've ever played. I don't think we've ever played a game where someone either ran away or was completely left behind. Everyone is usually within a few points of each other. I also have the computer version, and it's almost like meditation. Great music, beautiful art, and the "competition" is very easy going. It's not cut-throat frustrating. It's not my favorite game, but it's in the top 5.
@@giveawayTopeople sure 😊 5) Zombicide 4) Marvel Legendary 3) Wingspan 2) Munchkin 1) A Touch of Evil/Fortune & Glory. These are from the same company, and play similarly. F&G is like Indiana Jones. AToE is gothic horror theme. I prefer AToE, but we tend to only play that for Halloween.
The production quality of this show doesn't get the praise it deserves... There are very few youtube board game let's play's that get to this level of production quality. The audio is great, the shots are well planned out (for a multi cam setup at least). Great personality's around the table without them being overly attention hungry.

What. The. Fudge. It's that actress... How?
agreed, the editing really helps follow the flow and learn the game.
Well said. I completely agree.
drappke - totally agree.
There is another board game TH-cam I watch, but when they play games the audio ruins it and I don’t watch those episodes.
Agreed.
Dave is such a great teacher!
Thanks. Would you say I have a certain... cachet when it comes to teaching game.
@@davidarnott6085 You're actually the reason why I have 1/2 if not 3/4 of the games in my current collection. I've watched many of the play throughs with you in it doing the rules and before I know it the game somehow ends up in my collection lol.
Agreed .. i have a bunch of games too because of these videos
Nice explanation of the game. I felt like I was sitting across the table from Dave; the experience was friendly and engaging, and had everything I needed. Thanks you all!
This was really helpful in prepping myself and my partner for a super fun Wingspan tournament our friend was hosting! Thanks for the video 😊
Thank you for the great tutorial. I watched another and was so confused. This cleared up the game playso we were able to jump right in and play.
I've been gaming for 7 years now and I believe nobody on TH-cam explains a game better than Dave.
I think the way round 4 bonus goals was scored was incorrect. I interpreted the three eggs + the habitat, as how many sets of three per bird in each habitat does the player have. The players scored themselves with 5 goal points but yellow player only had 1 set of 3 Eggs on 1 bird and red had 2 sets. This video helped me learn the game. Reading 12 pages of instructions really makes someone question if it’s worth it. The video made it easier.
This game is so beautiful and super fun to play. Once you get a good engine going, it’s full steam ahead. I’ve won tremendously and lost catastrophically all based on eggs 😂
My big win was an egg engine.
Best engine is tucking cards on the wetlands
Lincoln's on fire! Got me chuckling a few times this episode. :D
In the start of the game Dave stays with 3 cards but keeps 3 food, i thought he was suppose to only have 2 left because it has to add up to 5
Love the bird shirt Nikki! You're so cute
Love the chemistry with you four.
Great pleasure.... Very good teacher 👏👏👏
I love this game and it's funny to see in the beginning they kept making the same small mistakes I see most new players make. Wanting to trigger birds when playing them, taking the dice instead of the tokens.
A minor unimportant nitpick, cache is pronounced "cash". :)
Exactly. That bothered me also. There is a completely different word 'Cachet' which is pronounced the way they did, but it means something completely different (it's a mark or a seal).
Winc Span is a gorgeous game. I love it.
Every game group needs a Dave! Will you all be playing Wyrmspan at some point?
Just some funny moments,
22:47 Just laughing because he has Killdeer, one of the top 4 cards in the game to get in hand. (there are 170 cards)
25:00 More laughing at not realizing killdeer is good.
28:35 Pie Billed Grebe really great card for early card draw. (nice pickup) but... wheres your food source birds?
57:00 Killdeer gets played in wrong habitat (put it in grasslands) This way you can get resources out of current habitat and save turns!
Anyways nicely done by all.
Thank you!!!!! This was awesome!!!
Such a classic!
Ich würde sooo gern mal mit euch ein schönes großes Brettspiel spielen wollen.
Ich sehe eure Videos gern und habe selber einige dieser Spiele.
Bitte macht so weiter^^
Vielen Dank und vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen!
I've seen the shells, too. I know what you mean, Lincoln!
Only Rodney at watch it played is as good as Dave at articulating rules. Good job
Thank you for such a cool video! Can I just say that I LOVE the resource plastic chips. Where did you get those? Soooo jealous :D
Monica Pereira those are GeekUp bits from here: boardgamegeekstore.com/ . The Wingspan bits are being reprinted right now but due to return sometime after September. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln
A game about the last surviving dinosaurs, nice!
Where did you get your fold up token trays? I've been looking everywhere for small ones like that!
Whoa...Karen Page is a board-game-geek? Well, alright!
I loved it when I saw her DM a Dungeons & Dragons game!
the WHOLE time im looking at that girl thinking, wow she looks like she was on the daredevil netflix series lol
Dave kept an extra food to start?
Looks like it.
I saw the same thing, good eye
Doh again!
Looks like to me Lincoln, Nikki, and Dave all cheated and Deborah was the only one that put in the right amount of food at the beginning
On the shelf, behind Deborah, there's 3 copies of Power Grid. Why?
Correction for Lincoln and Deborah (at the 28:05 mark)...
...Deborah, you're thinking of a Trilobite not a Troglodyte!
A troglodyte is an ancient cave dwelling person...a "caveman". In Dungeons & Dragons...it's a reptilian, humanoid cave-dweller.
LOL, I just made the same comment.
I need a nice lady in my life to play board games with lol, also I think I would replace the eggs with mini choc eggs then you could eat them! 😂😂
Why can't i have a Deborah-like boardgame friend?
She seems like such a cool person. I thought she'd be nice from True Blood - sometimes I think you can see beyond the character someone plays into what someone is actually like - and she seems like she'd be the nicest friend!
“Alright”
Regarding caching food on birds, I do not believe you can put that in your supply or am I wrong? Rules/Appendix make no note of this unless I missed it.

When you take the said food you can either put it in your supply and use it to play other birds later OR put it on that bird for a point at the end of the game.
Dave - Cache is the same as cash -- as in Johnny Cash, and NOT like sashay. Other than that great game!
The outcome could have been totally different if Dave remembered the rule allowing you to spend 2 of your food for any other single food for bird costs as there were a number of times they were trying really hard to get certain foods.

Nice try by Deborah to get Dave to say "cache" (cash) correctly. Didn't take though.
Doh!
THANK YOU!
Is Deborah a mainstay on Game Night now? Because that would not be a bad thing.
Goya Solidar I think we have finally found a worthy replacement for Aaron. 😎
Could she convince Charlie Cox to come on an episode?
But to play, like, DC Deck-Building or something 😋
Couldn’t agree more. She’s awesome! Very smiley with great personality and adds some flavor to the team.
Totally agree, she's lovely
I'm a person that needs to watch the game being played before I know if my group will enjoy a game. I appreciate the effort you guys made to make this video, thank you!!!
28:00 - I think they're talking about trilobites, not troglodyte which is a cave dweller. Still love the fun banter though.
Thanks for an awesome show, as always. You are always so positive and up beat that this show is such a good ambassador to our hobby :)

I cringed every time he said Cash-ay. I did like Deborah's subtle correction.
Deborah is such a catch-ay.
Great review, superb production and Dave... what an awesome talent to be able to explain a game to others!! Its a complex game and the rules are not easy to get but you explained everything so neatly!
Games that expose players to real world knowledge/science are simply the best. Thank you folks for showing off this game ;)
For some reason I always see Lincoln as Dana Carvey's SNL character "Garth" from Wayne's World. This episode definitely enforced and solidified that idea. "Hey Wayne".
"Yes Garth"?
"Will you teach us how to play SCHWINGSpan"?

D H I often see him as Langley from the Lone Gunmen. 😄
@@dougascott I see that too! I think it MUST be a conspiracy of epic proportions.....or fake news one of the two
Spot on!!!
Nikki's attire is very on brand for this episode. Great job, everyone!
Thanks for this video! I think Lincoln forgot to use the 'when played' ability of his second bird at 39:49. This would have gotten him another bonus card, which might have helped him approach Dave's score.
Holy crumb, is that Deborah Ann Woll from True Blood???
Yeh and dare devil.
Sam Bou-Rizk That’s where I know her from! That was really bothering me.
I wonder how they got her on the show.
holy shit i thought she looked familiar
playing a 2 hour game with no snacks or beverages! whuff, that's rough. thanks for the tutorial. you all are nicely patient with each other.
They all have little color-coded beverage glasses.
the amount of power grid games behind Lincoln! that's power grid porn :)
Again a great video. Dave explains the game very well. I played Wingspan solo three times and lost all my games against the Automa. Very challenging.
I’ve been so confused on how to play this game until now! Great video!
@Deb You are right. "Dicey" comes from dice ""risky, uncertain" (as the roll of dice), 1940s, aviators' jargon"
What size geek bit bowls are y'all using? I'd love to buy some from the BGG store just having trouble deciding the size.
Catherine Nguyen - seems like they used the smaller ones
Some birds in real life are not picky with what type of nest they build, and make different kinds of nests, to suit the location. Those birds, that are in the wingspan game, will typical have a star nest.
And this video is a very good explanation of the game.

I loved the teacher! He is good at explaining the game. I know I would have been frustrated without his wonderful tutorial. Now I can be a beginner at Wingspan. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for this. I watched a couple other videos that just described the game play and kind of got it while reading the instructions. However, this is what I needed! You explained the game really well to begin with and then getting to y’all actually play it is so helpful. Having frown up playing a lot of different board games, I never realized how much I needed to see a game played to get it because I had much older brothers who taught me by letting me watch and then playing games with me. This is exactly what I needed. I can’t wait to teach my kids how to play (not that I couldn’t wait to teach them, I was just nervous at the seeming complexity of it. I love birds and was pretty excited when I saw this game at a game shop but the price was a bit high at the time, but when my wife found it on sale, she snapped it up after my talking about how interesting it looked).
Was this filmed before or after Deborah was in the Dare Devil tv show? Would you mind revealing what the connection here is and how this episode came to be? I’m just curious because I loved the show and - of course - love this carefully made video! All the best to everyone involved and thank you so much for the excellent content!!
Deborah started appearing on our show after Daredevil finished filming. You can see how she became part of our group on our Green Team Wins/500th episode from a few weeks back. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln
@@boardgamegeek awesome! Appreciate the reply. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎅🥳
39:46 I think you made a mistake, someone asked on a forum with one of the game's creators and they said *the second bird actually must be played in the same habitat as the house wren*. I made the same mistake too when I first played.
Holy crap havent watched this channel in years, you have the girl from true blood playing awesome!!!
Saw this game when i bought roll for the galaxy and i can say ill def be buying this next
This game is AMAZING. I own it and love playing it EVERY chance that I can. The only mess up was at the start of the game where both Lincoln and Dave kept 3 cards and 3 food instead of what's alloted at the start. Otherwise great run through.
bcmaledragon - yes agreed but it is a bit sad, that taking eggs at the end is getting you more points than trying to build another cool bird because you then don‘t have enough time to fill it with eggs
I had rounds where one player took eggs every time in the last round and got like 25 eggs
Did you encounter these phenomenon?
@@schoko-fan4370 I have played the game around 7-8 times and everytime except once, the person who scored the most with eggs won the game. In the one exception, the person was second. Unless we are prone to a lot of groupthink, it seems the egg strategy on the last round is necessary to win.
Very late reply, but I can only recommend getting the Oceania expansion. The lay eggs action is less overpowered and makes the game more exciting until the very last round!
In the beginning you are supposed to discard one food resource for every bird you KEEP not Discard. COMBINED at the beginning you should have 5 bird cards and resources.
Been waiting for you guys to play this! I was one of the first pre-orders for the game, but I wanted to hear Dave explain it before playing!
Thank you very much for all 4 people, you people saved our time to explain easily about this game with multiple cam views and good audio quality. your team work is highly Appriciated!
Interested in picking up some of the GeekUp Bit Bowls, I'm wondering what size is used in the video? the Large 6x6" or the small 4.5x4.5". Cheers
DRailer12 if I had to guess based on the average hand proportions it’d be the 4.5”
This is such a good quality video and tutorial, we have been playing wingspan for a while but really helps to refresh! Have you done similar videos for new expansion packs? Question at 51.38 the bird moves from habitat, but was not ALREADY to the right of bird should it not be before moving and then would you not ‘walk back’ on the row you have moved too to take advantage of extra brown activation powers OR do you go back to original row, this card always confuses me.
This channel is amazing! The step by step description at the starts awesome! And the playthrough is incredible, answering lots of questions!
Thanks for sharing...
hey gamenight you should replay wingspan with the swift start pack and European and Oceania Expansions, there is a lot of new gameplay elements, like Round-End Abilities, or birds who are play sideways and takes 2 spaces instead of 1or predator birds who only can be played on top of another bird instead of at free space, in the habitats
We watched several videos for Wingspan before playing it including this one. I've played a number of euro-board games but am no expert and my wife is a very casual board gamer, at best. We really enjoyed this game and are looking forward to playing it again.
One of our new favourites! Great & unique engine builder and Stonemaier puts out great games.
It would be great if you could somehow zoom in on the cards - especially during the explanation. The icons are too small to see what you are referring to. Thanks.
Everyone needs binoculars.
I agree! I looked at Stone Maiers website and they actually sell magnifying glasses 😂
I watched this whole thing and kept thinking I knew Deborah. She seemed so familiar to me. I figured she reminds me of someone I know.. then it hit me! Would have never guessed. #trueblood
I was thinking the same thing.
What an awesome video. Highly agree that the professional touch to this video made the difference for me, I watched the entire video in two sittings. This should be a required watch to learn the game. I started with the IOS version and really didn’t get it until I watched this. Plus we are going to start a game night at work and Wingspan was on my list, I think we will enjoy it.
'An African or a European swallow?' - Lol :) Beautiful bird and board art. Looks like a fun game - Will be ordering this one :)
Surely you guys should have been saying "fly it back" instead of "walk it back"? 😆
Was looking for videos for this on the pc version. I had no idea there was a board game. Pretty neat, and good video!
Always so refreshing to watch this channel and the no-nonsense playthroughs, which can't be said of many gaming channels these days.
Wingspan finally became available here in Sweden at an online store, and there was nothing to wait for. Production quality is amazing from eggs to rulebook to you name it. The cards seem to be 100% plastic, and I think that would be the first time I see that in a (non poker-related) board game, and I of course mean that in a good way.
Nikki's shirt is so thematic!
The le petit jedi is way cooler though.
Who here is in love with Deborah? Raise your hand...
- raises his hand -
The best wingspan explanation ever, the game was also fun and nice.
Glad it helped!-Lincoln
Definitely agree. I'm about to play my first game with my family tonight using this video as a reference.
Ha, this game continually gives you agonizing decisions. Such a great game!
This game is probably the most well-balanced game I've ever played. I don't think we've ever played a game where someone either ran away or was completely left behind. Everyone is usually within a few points of each other.
I also have the computer version, and it's almost like meditation. Great music, beautiful art, and the "competition" is very easy going. It's not cut-throat frustrating. It's not my favorite game, but it's in the top 5.
can you tell ur top 5 games? :)
@@giveawayTopeople sure 😊
5) Zombicide
4) Marvel Legendary
3) Wingspan
2) Munchkin
1) A Touch of Evil/Fortune & Glory. These are from the same company, and play similarly. F&G is like Indiana Jones. AToE is gothic horror theme. I prefer AToE, but we tend to only play that for Halloween.
Deborah has such an awesome personality. So different from her Karen Page character.
Oh... is that who she is? Cool. I like watching celebs and personalities playing games on Wil Wheaton's show.
Where's the Surfin' Bird? Literally everybody's heard about them.
