This was the first board game I ever purchased, so it has a special place in my heart. It brings such a niche theme for gamers - when I bought it along with me to my Tabletop society at university, everyone quickly fell in love with it!

Love this game! About "For who" must agree with "Everyone". We play with my wife mostly, and at some point, when my sister visited, we offered her to try Viticulture with us and she loved it! So at some point later, when we were going to visit here, we were trying to find what can we offer now (you know, you always trying to bring as much people as you can to the hobby, so you would not suffer alone). We watch some reviews and decided to try Wingspan... Long story short: we end up leaving first copy of Wingspan to her and buying another to ourselves. About with who to play: our 7 years daughter enjoys it a lot. She may not plays for the win, but she understands mechanics, and makes not best but still reasonable decisions on her turn... Anyways... Loved review, subscribed, thank you for content:)

Such great format for reviews!

[@gruntsudens]

Thanks a lot!

[@chuckm1961]

One of my favorite 90 minute or less games. Played it once with five players for almost 3 hours, and I was pulling my hair out and begging for it to end.

[@BoardGameHangover]

For sure, one of the best things about it is that it's quick. Take that away and it loses a lot.

[@Martin-pk9sm]

Just bought it, love it! You guys are awesome!

[@BoardGameHangover]

No! You are. ;)

[@angelnoa6327]

Watching this review definitely, has me looking forward to eventually getting a copy. Seems like a nice balance for heavy gamers and light gamers.

[@ngvot]

I'm absolutely dying to play this game! :D It's even available in the library. But most of my family isn't so keen on complicated rules. However, I find it reassuring that you said it's really good with two because I might be able to get my sister to play this (even the English version)! I also really liked how you reviewed this because it really helps when you cover all those different questions and offer your own opinions. :) It made this really enjoyable and easy to watch.

[@BoardGameHangover]

The rules might seem a bit complicated at first, but after just 1 or 2 rounds most people are ready to get in to it because each turn is just choosing one of the four actions. You might give it a try with your family as well.

[@AoiSyuuto]

I love your channel guys!!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Awesome to hear that Diego! :)

[@AoiSyuuto]

@@BoardGameHangover So i bouth Scythe and this game thanks to you.

[@BoardGameHangover]

@@AoiSyuuto Really good picks! Enjoy mate!

[@vladimirshlapakov8033]

Agree, that for gamers -this is more for relax. Very beautiful, great theme. But random in base game is big. And You can stuck with food dice. And some cards are not balanced (but expansion solve these problems).

[@BoardGameHangover]

We haven't tried the expansion just yet. Will do in the future tho!

[@winstonhammonds3314]

Is it wrong that I like to just look at it? I'd like to play it more, but it's intimidating to my wife and there are other games that I'd prefer to play with my gamer friends- like those with themes my family doesn't care for. Good job as always, gentlemen!

[@BoardGameHangover]

It's awesome to look at for sure! The game is simple rules-wise, but the decisions you need to make might feel a bit intimidating.

[@BrandonGraham]

@8:00 🤣

[@fieryfirevivin]

Can you review blood rage

[@BoardGameHangover]

Not on our radar right now, but we'll see what we can do

[@vladimirshlapakov8033]

Red Rising is complex Fantasy Realms ). Wingspan is more like tableubuilder like Imperial Settlers.

[@fablan5260]

I love this game! I was hesitating a long time because of the theme but now I really really like it. I got it for 38€ and that's an absolute good price. Also, the solo mode is great too!

[@BoardGameHangover]

That's a steal! Great that you enjoy it!

[@fieryfirevivin]

Hey where did you get it for 38 euros. Planning to buy on

[@garytheosophilus]

I was waiting for you to say that Wingspan was for those who enjoy birdwatching. Unfortunately my attempt to interest them (they were also non gamers) failed …

[@BoardGameHangover]

Oh, we are with you Gary. Would have thought they'd enjoy it... Now we know better :D

[@Sk1nn3r32]

Great game, but from what I’ve been able to tell with my friends, there is a VERY broken strategy that does ruin some of the fun of it for me.

[@holisticselfinquiry2736]

I sold mine because honestly I found it boring. Almost no control, bland gameplay tbh, I seem to be the outlier though.

[@BoardGameHangover]

That's alright. Not all games are for everyone. :) What would be your go-to alternative?

[@cloroxbleach5159]

This game just gets old very very fast, especially as you play more board games that give you much more freedom
