r/wingspan

I just had a 3 person game on Steam where I went first and played the Golden Pheasant. It got me thinking, is that the best first move in the game?

If not, what do you think is, and what are some other contenders?

Had the fun opportunity to play four birds at once, so I took it. It also aligned well with the backyard birder bonus card.

ATTN: Anybody that has played lots and lots of Everdell and Wingspan.

I'm looking for a recommendation.

I have both above mentioned games and like both a lot. There are a lot of similarities between the two. I however slightly prefer WIngspan.

The only reason is because Wingspan has obvious goals to work towards, end of round goals and bonus cards, where as Everdell (base game) feels much more open ended.

So my question is, do any of the Everdell expansions add goals/targets/things to work towards like Wingspan? I'm keen to grab an expansion and if one add this sort of mechanic, I think it could push Everdell to the top spot.

Thanks.

P.S. I currently have no Everdell expansions and one Wingspan expansion (Oceania).

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere-- I primarily play online, and have noticed since buying the game's expansions that I never see certain bonus cards anymore, like Anatomist or the ones with locations/colors in the birds' names. Do the expansion bonus cards overwrite the base game ones, and is there a way to get all of the bonus cards available at once online?

Thanks!

Als je een kolibrie naar een andere omgeving mag lokken, wordt het voordeel dat de kolibrie geeft dan opnieuw getriggerd?

UPDATE: this concerns the Altamira Oriole. Text: "when activated, attract 1 hummingbird to another row".

All expansions, a 2 player game using the duet board, no house rules and managed to max out the hummingbird track... Not the first time either one of us have gotten over 200 but this is our best so far!!

Basically the title. I have messed up so many games just by choosing the wrong bonus card in the start and losing just by that many points. How do you decide which to keep?

For example, if I see a nest bonus vs predator or omnivore bonus, I keep those because of the potential of more points but it always just so happens that I cant even have like 2-3 cards. What's your thought process behind keeping the bonus you keep? Also how do you choose which bonus card to keep mid game via a bird that allows you to draw a bonus card?
