Editorial Reviews of Wingspan

Wingspan deserves all the credit it gets. It is a phenomenal production. At its core is a very good, yet accessible game that will appeal to the majority of people. All the mechanics of the game meld together into one glorious egg-laying machine. Elizabeth Hargrave, with Stonemaier Games, has created a classic. - Read more at Board Game Review

It’s such a delightful game. The production value is second to none – all the components are so well made, I already mentioned the player boards which are very solid, the amazing birdfeeder dice tower and wooden dice. The little eggs are really cute too but what really elevates this game is the bird cards. There are 170 unique, incredibly illustrated birds included in the base game. - Read more at S vs J Board Games

There’s a reason Wingspan is in the top 20 games on BGG, and ranked number one for family games. It’s a great game. It’s fun, it’s easy to learn, it’s beautiful on the table, and the eggs and bird box dice tower are irresistibly tactile. If there’s a gap in your collection for a medium-weight game that you want to appeal to just about anyone, Wingspan is the way to go. - Read more at Punchboard

Wingspan has revealed a side of me that I never knew existed; a bird-brained, peacefully competitive gamer with an added appreciation for gorgeous components. It is a bright, smart, beautiful engine building game that I would not hesitate to recommend or play. It was the first Stonemaier game in my collection, and I can unequivocally say that it will not be my last.  - Read more at Favourite Foe

It was the design of the game, which is a combination of various mathematical principles like permutations and combinations, as well as the overall structured play experience with the people I played with, that tipped my love in Wingspan’s favour. - Read more at Big Boss Battle
