Question 1

True or false: In the board game Wingspan, you can play a bird on top of another bird in the same habitat to gain a bonus egg.

Accepted Answer

False. Birds are placed in empty slots; you cannot stack them. The only stacking is for tucked cards or eggs on existing birds.

Question 2

True or false: In the base game, the Atlantic Puffin lays eggs in the forest habitat, not the grassland.

Accepted Answer

False. The Atlantic Puffin is a wetland bird in Wingspan, not a forest one. It nests on cliffs, not in grasslands.

Question 3

True or false: The 'Oceania Expansion' introduced new bird powers that allow you to discard dice to gain nectar tokens.

Accepted Answer

False. No bird power allows discarding dice to gain nectar. Nectar tokens are gained from the bird feeder dice (which include nectar faces) or from specific bird powers, not by discarding dice.

Question 4

True or false: The raven in Wingspan is the only bird that can steal food from other players' birdfeeder dice pools.

Accepted Answer

False. Ravens and crows both have powers that allow taking a die from the birdfeeder. For example, the American Crow has the same ability, so the raven is not unique in this.

Question 5

True or false: A single game of Wingspan uses exactly 170 bird cards, including all expansions.

Accepted Answer

False. The base game of Wingspan contains 170 bird cards. Expansions such as the European Expansion (81 cards) and Oceania Expansion (95 cards) increase the total number, so including all expansions uses many more than 170.

Question 6

True or false: Wingspan's original artwork for the Common Loon was changed because it looked too similar to a real photograph.

Accepted Answer

True. An early prototype used a photographic reference, but the final art was re-illustrated to avoid copyright issues.

Question 7

True or false: The Wood Duck is a bird species featured in the board game Wingspan.

Accepted Answer

True. Wingspan, designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, includes hundreds of bird species from around the world, one of which is the Wood Duck.

Question 8

True or false: In Wingspan, there is a hidden bonus for having the most birds with the 'nocturnal' trait at the end of the game.

Accepted Answer

False. Wingspan does not have a 'nocturnal' trait on bird cards, and there is no bonus for collecting birds with such a trait at the end of the game.
