You are bird enthusiasts-researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors-seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats (actions). These habitats focus on several key aspects of growth:
- Gain food tokens via custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower
- Lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors
- Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them
The winner is the player with the most points after 4 rounds.

Honestly didn't know you could draw from the bird deck when doing the "draw birds" action. Thanks for that one!

[@CommonRulesMistakes]

I'm glad I was able to help :). Thanks for your comment!

[@SarahZ-h6f]

Thanks for the clear concise clarifications

[@officejedi7465]

actually the description here of the pink power cardsseems incorrect?- In the original core game rulebook, it clearly states that it triggers one between "each of your turns" when one of the other players does the action stated. It is NOT just once before your turn, and once again until the end of the Game. It is one time, between each of your turns (so not each time every other player may do the action), as stated in the core rulebook.

[@Rickhis]

If everyone has the same amount, who has the fewest? For example a bird gives cards to the player with fewest birds in the ocean area, who will it give to if all players have the same? None or all?

[@leemarkowitz4709]

I think multiple players can have the fewest, even though that sounds strange

[@stevej1973]

Hmmm. Unfortunately I found these kinda obvious and rules that are clear if you've read them. I don't think these particular rules are confusing enough to come under common rules mistakes. However, content aside, I think it's a well presented video. Well done

[@CommonRulesMistakes]

Thank you for your feedback and I hope my upcoming videos will be more helpful to you! Based on my research these topics were at least asked quite regularly on various forums and comments sections. That's what these are based on.

[@Keldroc]

I dunno, I've played this a number of times and the fact that the "repeat a power" can apply to the left of the bird (power that haven't activated yet) was news to me.

[@Wingsplain]

@stehpen J you would be shocked at how many people get these wrong. The official Facebook group for Wingspan is constantly bombarded by basic rules questions. This video and anything like it is a public service to the Wingspan community.

[@kirkshammett94]

Can someone please tell me how much. Points the little bonus cards for each round are worth the ones that sit at the top of the scorecard for the end of each individual round.

[@EternalVids]

It says right on the round card. On the blue side it's between 5-0 points, and on the green side it's the number next to the feather (for example 4pts for the first place, 1pt for the 2nd place during round 1)

[@Wingsplain]

Great video! This addresses many of the nuanced rules questions I see people regularly ask. EDIT: I had to come back and add to my comment after reading all the comments here. People need to stop being so snooty. People do ask these questions. Wingspan is acting like a gateway game that is pulling in a lot of people who aren't used to these types of board games. Join the official Facebook group and observe it for a week and you will understand.

[@robertclopton8942]

Great voice, Great video, now start making more video's about all the most popular games. When you do, I will give you. A list of games to do.

[@Rhajalob]

So you mean to tell me that 0 is smaller than any other (positive) number? Daring today, arent we?

[@CommonRulesMistakes]

It may seem absurd to you, but there are actually numerous comments from people who think that quantity is only counted when a player actually has a visible quantity of birds.

[@Wingsplain]

Again, can confirm. This question does come up in the community.

[@Glamorous_Tiefling]

This is quite an easy game and hardly any of these are really "mistakes". An actual common mistake would be something like "thinking a bird with an omnivore symbol could count as a bird that eats fish" for example or "Thinking you can move your mockingbird with a migratory bird". You could also explain some of the more confusing end round goals to beginners "Birds with at least one egg in the grassland" can look very similar to "eggs in the grassland". This feels like it's come from someone that doesn't really play this game and feels kinda disingenuous

[@CommonRulesMistakes]

These rules might sound obvious to many, but I've actually read all rules questions asked in the BGG forums/Stonemaier FAQ Comments/Reddit/FB and these were the most common things people got wrong or were asking about. As example, you don't believe how many people get this rule wrong: "Egg costs are only for the "Play a Bird" action". However, thanks for your feedback and the additions!

[@jamesjiao]

This could be confusing for people who aren't used to point-based boardgames like this one.

[@Wingsplain]

Can confirm. The official Facebook group is particularly bombarded by these rules questions daily.
