In this third expansion to Wingspan, we welcome new species to our habitats by exploring the vibrant, intriguing, and magnificent birds of Asia. These birds were chosen from the over 2,800 species that live in Asia.
Wingspan Asia is several different things: A stand-alone game for 1 player or 2 players (Duet mode that can be used with any bird/bonus cards), a card expansion to the original Wingspan (any bird/bonus cards across any Wingspan game or expansion can be combined), and a 6-7 player expansion via the new Flock mode (for which the player components from the core game are necessary).

Wingspan is easily in my top five board games, in fact, I think it's tied up there in first place. I have had the base game for a couple of years when I saw this come out late last year. I promptly put it on my wish list and was very happy when my brother gifted me a copy for my birthday (I would have eventually bought it for myself). What makes this a really good expansion is that, unlike most game expansions, you don't actually need any of the base game to be able to play Wingspan: Asia, all the components you need are already in the box and ready to go.
This game is specifically designed to be a two player game, with the added yin/yang tokens which can be used to complete the various objectives and gain bonuses. As with pervious expansions, Asia focuses on the birds that live in Asian countries, so you get to see some beautiful birds that you may not have even heard of. To top things off, it gives you a new game mode (once added to the base game) which allows you to have six or seven players (instead of five), or you can simply add the bonus and bird cards to your original game to expand your cards even more!
I have already played this edition several times with a friend, I love the ease of this being a two player game and that I don't have to lug out the base game to use its components. This is a great addition to an already great game.
Random listing from 'Games & Puzzles'...
Once Upon A Time is a game in which the players create a story together, using cards that show typical elements from fairy tales. One player is the Storyteller and creates a story using the ingredients on her cards. She tries to guide the plot towards her own ending. The other players try to use cards to interrupt her and become the new Storyteller. The winner is the first player to play out all her cards and end with her Happy Ever After card.
