6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Travis Audubon is hosting a Wingspan Game Night for anyone who plays, or is interested in learning how to play!
WINGSPAN is a board game that debuted in 2019 that uses bird behavior and characteristics to control the flow of the game. An article in Audubon summed it up best: “Wingspan players take on the role of bird enthusiasts aiming to attract avian visitors to their wildlife preserve. The heart of the game is its deck of 170 illustrated bird cards, each depicting a North American species. Up to five players take turns placing these cards into their appropriate habitat, collecting food, laying eggs, or drawing new cards, with each action unlocking new resources. It’s what’s known in board game parlance as an engine-building game—one in which players try to create an increasingly effective system for generating points. The game lasts about an hour, and the player with the most points wins.”
Learn more about Wingspan and watch a tutorial video here. The many different actions and variables to each round may seem very complex at first, but becomes easier to remember with each round. We will play a demonstration round at first, then break up into groups playing open-handed rounds giving participants a chance to learn and ask questions.
Please feel free (but not required) to bring a snack to share and a beverage of your choice. This event is free but registration is required. If you have a copy of the game, please bring it!
This event will take place at the Travis Audubon headquarters located at the Baker School: 3908 Avenue B. If you have any questions, email annemarie@travisaudubon.org
