Wingspan Strategy | Starting Hand Tips and Tricks!

[@monzasmithNZ]

My strategy for Wingspan: *Draws card* "Oh, that's a cool looking bird! Let me play it!"

[@motherlove8366]

Good video. I appreciate that it's kept general enough to be almost always applicable. I would've added that resource gain almost always trumps point gain in the early game.

[@WinginitWingspan]

Great point!

I’ve been playing Wingspan for years and made content talking about how it’s my favorite game. But this is by far the most helpful strategy video I’ve ever watched. Great work.

Thanks for the tips :D Great video!

[@WinginitWingspan]

Thanks for watching!

Great content. Could be helpful to hear your thought process about conversely why you choose to pass over the other cards, such as the chaffinch or the teal mass tucking birds.

[@WinginitWingspan]

Great suggestion! I'll look at covering that in more detail next time

Fun! I have been playing online and wondering how people are crushing it! Half the time I'm picking based on vibes hehe

Thanks for you excellent advice! I know I’m late but maybe it helps others: always take a decision (not a definitive one, just a first stance) on how you think you’re going to get your first few eggs when you play Oceania (where eggs are just a means to an end in many games). It goes without saying that the wetland birds with combined tucking and egg laying are best and the chipping sparrow comes in second. If you can’t get one of these, a cuckoo style bird is really valuable in the beginning if you can get a matching bird. If there’s none of that, there’s nothing you can do but either have good wetlands (so you can easily swap cards for eggs) or get some grassland bird down in the first round (not a random one of course, but I recommend against being so picky that you don’t get one down). One should never use the wetlands just to get a single egg, even in the first round. And activating it for two eggs should ideally be a first round or maybe early second round thing happening once (way better) or twice in that timeframe. This really helped me to advance from beginner to intermediate.

7 hours in, always ranked last in every online game I played. It's crazy how easy this game can makes you think you are a fucking genius and you do some sick strats and well laid out actions just to be shy of 20 feathers on the results screen.

Thank you. Great video

[@amchen1219]

For the first had where you kept the Grebe - would you consider grabbing and playing the gull first in hopes the opponent has a fish you can steal?

[@motherlove8366]

You gatta grab the gull immediately anyway, it's not the kind of bird that stays in the tray for long So I think this is the correct play

[@martinbuckingham7937]

Wingspan is life

[@capoeirabrasil]

Scenario 2: I would probably keep the yellowthroat and grebe as well, but not play them both round 1. Considering round 1 and 2 goals i would want something in the grassland over two birds in the wetland. e.g. nabbing that starling or better
