Stonemaier Games Wingspan Americas Expansion — 111 New Birds, Hummingbirds & Garden Gameplay | 1-5 Players

Expand your Wingspan experience with the Wingspan Americas Expansion, designed by Elizabeth Hargrave. This richly themed addition introduces 111 new, colorful birds from across the Americas, broadening the biodiversity on your wildlife preserves. Expect vibrant illustrations and thoughtful mechanisms that invite new strategies without altering the core flow of Wingspan. The expansion requires the Wingspan base game (or Wingspan Asia for 1-2 players) and scales to 5 players in about 90 minutes, making it a substantial yet approachable upgrade for your table.

What’s inside and how it feels at the table

• 111 new birds offering varied nesting styles, food needs, and egg counts to balance your habitat board.
• 40 hummingbird cards introducing a fresh card type with a twist on how you manage locations and resources.
• Hummingbird Garden: hummingbirds move between players and a central garden board, creating moments of interaction as cards arrive and depart.
• Solo play option with Automa provides an engaging single-player challenge that mirrors the base game’s rhythm.
• Eco-friendly packaging with a recyclable box and no shrink wrap reflects a mindful, low-waste presentation.

Why it matters for your Wingspan table

• New birds invite diverse strategies and let you explore unfamiliar habitats across the Americas, enriching your storytelling of a wildlife preserve.
• The hummingbird mechanic emulates fast, darting movement, adding timely decisions for placement and resource planning.
• The garden interactions bring a tactile, dynamic element as hummingbirds arrive, linger briefly, and shift positions when they depart.
• A well-integrated solo mode gives you a credible opponent when playing alone, preserving the game’s familiar pace.

Design, art, and presentation

• Beautiful illustrations by Natalia Rojas, Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo, and Martha Clare bring a naturalistic feel to every card.
• Card abilities are thematically tied to the represented birds, reinforcing immersion without overloading the engine.

Practical notes for players

• Requires Wingspan Base Game (or Wingspan Asia for 1-2 players) to unlock the full experience.
• Works well with other Wingspan expansions, though the hummingbird track limit means flock mode (6-7 players) won’t use that mechanism.
