65. Wingspan (2025)

In this episode, we grab our binoculars and our field guides to go birdwatching in Wingspan. Wingspan is a 2019 game designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and published by Stonemaier Games. Most days, if you ask me what my favorite board game is, I'll tell you it's Wingspan. It's my most played game, and it's the one that Emily and I are most likely to pull out and enjoy after the kids go to bed.We first covered the game on the podcast back in 2020. That was five years ago! In this episode, Emily and I chat about what's changed in the world of Wingspan in the last five years (expansions! fan art! bird meeples!) and how our interest in birdwatching has grown in that time. Episode Links:Wingspan Fan Art Pack from Stonemaier GamesWingspan component upgrades from Meeple SourceMy photos from the High Island, TX, tripWingspan expansions from Stonemaier GamesMusic:"Open Road," "Sunbeam" by Purple Planet.Send us a textPodcast Links: Order a First Player Token coffee mug.
