However, if you want to store everything in the original box, you won’t be able to fit in the second card tray as well. With the extra 81 bird cards, there is no longer room for the bonus cards as well. Its colour compliments the new purple eggs, and you do need more room to store all your cards. The expansion also comes with another card tray, with lid. However, it is nice that two more storage boxes were included, as it allows you to split the resources more evenly and place them in easy reach of all players, which is especially great if you play at the five-player limit. The additional food tokens are also nice to have, but not essential. The new egg colour does look lovely, but doesn’t add anything to the gameplay, as all eggs are made equal – just some more equal than others. So far there is nothing particularly surprising. Wingspan: European Expansion introduces 81 new bird cards, a few extra bonus cards, more end of round goals, the purple eggs, additional food tokens, another card tray, more automa cards, and some other bits and pieces. We had hoped that the first expansion for Wingspan would cover Europe, but Jamey Stegmaier didn’t reveal which continent had been chosen for the expansion until the very last moment – and as soon as he shared the news, I placed a pre-order on the website. Living in the UK, it was always the European birds we were looking forward to the most. So it’s no surprise that the European expansion of Wingspan found its way into our home. Just read my review of the game and check out my top 5 games list for last year and you’ll see why it rates so highly for me.
