Wingspan: The Board Game

I have the game plus the European pack (EE). This is a fantastic game, with lots of strategy, a fair amount of luck, yet pretty easy to learn how to play. The board game requires a lot of juggling and double-checking that the online version takes care of for you. All in all it’s well worth the price and a lot of fun to play. The current version of the game crashes (on Apple iPad Air 3rd, OSv 17.2) nearly once per solo game, typically as my turn is due to start, prior to the splash screen. It restarts and carries on okay, but it’s still annoying. Here are a few things it’s missing: - the online version has a five-minute timer per player. I wish there were a speedier option. - the online version plays the EE only and plays with nectar, which changes the game strategy a lot. There don’t appear to be any settings to change that. - on the other hand, the solo option with the EE doesn’t have the option to play with nectar - there are no gameplay stats: I’d like to see games played, finishes against the various types of opponents, best total score, best score on each of the categories (birds, tucked cards, eggs) - while there are numerous achievements, they don’t appear to play any role. It would be cool for X number of achievements to earn a special bird card that would be added to the game. - for both the board game and the application game, I’d like to have the option to give up an initial food/card (only getting a combo of four instead of five) in exchange for a redeal on the five birds I can choose from. - if I start a solo game and quit, when I press play, the game is available to select. Sometimes it can be deleted, but mostly not. Why isn’t deleting it always an option?

Let me be clear, I LOVE Wingspan and the new Oceania expansion looks wonderful! I just wish it would work. I haven’t been able to complete a game in 3 days because the app keeps crashing and takes so very long to reload, just to crash again! I don’t know why this is happening. I am on my 5th generation iPad with over 35 GB of space left and I have cleared my website cache and restarted my iPad so many times, I know that is not the problem! I really did not want to delete and reload the app because I would lose all of my previous achievements I earned, but if these bugs cannot be worked out, that is my next step. I am ‘pull your hair out’ frustrated at this point because I REALLY want to play! I always play the computer because I have no one to play in person and I love the convenience of not having to set up the board game, which I do have. I am so happy with the single player option of this game and really want to be able to do it! PLEASE HELP!!!

I have the base card game with all the expansions and absolutely love it. Ironically, I actually played the iOS version before owning my own copies (but not before playing the original game) and I absolutely love both. I’m looking forward to the new expansions as they release. This is a near perfect version of the game that I absolutely love picking up and playing a few rounds between short breaks at work or before bed to calm down some. My only complaint with the game here is that it tracks what birds you’ve collected and used in the game which I absolutely love. But when you’ve played as much of the game as I have, it’s hard to remember what you’ve played before and what you haven’t. I wish there was a visual display on cards you haven’t played before like a little ribbon in the upper right corner or something denoting when a card is ‘new to you’. It’s a little thing but actually collecting the cards and filling out my bird list is the main reason why I’d rather just play this version if I’m home by myself instead of busting out my tabletop versions or a version on Tabletop Simulator .
