Wingspan is one of my most favourite boardgames, I can't tell you how many times I have played it and I even have it downloaded onto my iPad. In this expansion, we get to see some of the beautiful birds from Australia and New Zealand, as well as getting a new way to play an already great game. There are new player mats, which are specific for the new nectar food icon, or if you really wanted to you could use them for the base game for the artwork and just ignore the nectar slots. Nectar, the new food, can be used as a wild token when playing a bird card and then any spent gets shifted to the left and may gain you bonus points at games end.

The addition of the nectar is quite good, because of this there are new dice, so you can collect them from the birdfeeder, but no one is able to monopolize them because at the end of each round any that you have still sitting in your personal supply must be discarded - this is especially good because it means that no one has an unfair advantage. The birds are, as with the other expansions, beautifully done, and the New Zealand birds were certainly very popular with my kids, with them selecting those cards when able to. This expansion keeps to the core game whilst still making it more than just 'here's some extra bird cards'.
