Once the nectar is punched, there is no where to store it, and if all the cards are placed in one bag the top does not fit on the box. There were only a few bags included in the box for the new dice and eggs, and one additional bag that I have been storing my cards in. It does not fit into the base game box, but it also does not fit well into its own box with the storage that is included. However, if players do not intend to do this, the storage of this expansion is very difficult. If players intended to only play with the new player mats, and got rid of the mats in the base game, it would be possible to fit this expansion into the main game box. My biggest concern with the expansion is the storage available in the game. These components will hold up well to wear and tear, and have a great table presence. There are also new yellow eggs included in this expansion.Īs expected with Wingspan, the quality of the components and the art included on the bird cards is extremely well done. These both added to the replayability of the game, and help keep the game fresh for those who are avid Wingspan players. In addition to the new types of cards, there were also more components added that mimic those of the base game such as additional bonus cards and end of round goals. I feel like this expansion did a really nice job doing both of these things. I love the additional ways to score, and I love when games give incentive for players to plan ahead. These cards added additional goals for players in a similar way to the bonus cards. There was a delicate balance of using these birds to gain additional points, but also knowing that they would not be of much help in creating an engine in the earlier rounds of gameplay. In addition to the added nectar, I enjoyed the added end of game birds. This was a subtle change to the strategy of the game, but the points that could be gained from paying attention to it can have a significant impact on the scoring of the game. It was easy to get caught up in getting the nectar but then forget to use it. It created an extra layer of depth to the game, especially since any nectar that was not used would have to be put back in the supply at the end of the round. When there was nectar in the available food, players were constantly rearranging their strategies to try and get it. The nectar is an important commodity throughout gameplay, and many of the bird card powers interact with this new food type as well. Players are able to score points at the end of the game for having spent the most nectar in each of their three regions for bird cards. Additionally, the new game mats also provide an additional way to score points with the nectar food type. This helps keep the game moving, and also adds mechanics I have been wanting since the base game came out. I say this because with the new player mats, players will have the opportunity to spend resources to refresh the face up bird cards or reroll the food dice. The new players mats that were put into play with this expansion is something that elevates the gameplay significantly, and also makes manipulating the resources available much easier, thus making the game more enjoyable. It is an expansion I highly suggest for anyone who loves Wingspan but often feels frustrated by the lack of flexibility with rotating through cards or feels like the bird feeder sometimes gets stuck. Wingspan Oceania Expansion helped solve some of the concerns I have had about Wingspan since the base game came out.
