Board Game Release - Wingspan Americas

New Release Wingspan Americas

Wingspan Americas
Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave
Illustrated by Natalia Rojas, Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo, and Martha Clare

When Elizabeth Hargrave went birding in Central America, she was amazed at the quantity and diversity of hummingbirds she encountered (they make up about one tenth of all bird species in this region). Because they all have similar food, size, and habitat qualities, she wanted to find a new way to express their charms in Wingspan. So for the new Wingspan Americas Expansion, she developed the Garden Board, where hummingbirds spend their time between visits to a new overlay on players’ habitat boards. Each time you activate a habitat row from right to left, the last action of your turn will be a hummingbird action, either attracting a hummingbird from the garden to your overlay, or returning a hummingbird to the garden, both of which provide benefits. I find the feeling of the hummingbirds flitting around the table to be very true to life, and I love how Elizabeth brought these birds to the game.

Wingspan Americas Expansion components:

111 bird cards
40 hummingbird cards
8 bonus cards
5 double-sided goal tiles
1 hummingbird garden board
15 egg miniatures
5 player mat overlays
5 hummingbird tracks
25 hummingbird tokens
Automa components
This expansion includes a card tray designed for both the bird cards and the smaller hummingbird cards.

Key Mechanics
The set introduces new abilities and keywords to reflect the comic-book style of combat:

Power-up: An activated ability that represents a hero or villain unleashing their true strength. It can only be activated once, but its cost is reduced by the creature’s mana cost if it entered the battlefield that turn.
Teamwork: Found on instants and sorceries. As an additional cost to cast, you can tap creatures with a total power equal to or greater than the teamwork number to gain extra effects.
Plans: Special enchantments that accumulate “plan counters” over time. Once you reach a certain threshold, the enchantment is sacrificed for a massive benefit.
Connive: A returning mechanic where a creature allows you to draw a card and discard a card. If you discard a non-land card, the creature gets a +1/+1 counter.

Commander Decks
If you want to jump right into playing pre-built decks, the set offers four distinct Commander themes, each led by an iconic Marvel figure:

Fantastic Four (Mister Fantastic): A 4-color deck that uses each member of Marvel’s First Family.
Captain America, Team Leader: A mono-white deck centered around assembling a large squad of “Hero” creatures and buffing your team.
Doctor Doom, King of Latveria: A villain-focused deck that revolves around discarding mechanics and slowly draining your opponents’ life.
T’Challa, the Black Panther: A deck focused on artifacts, specifically vibranium.

For an in-depth review of how these commanders and the draft format work:

How the Magic System Works
Because they are in MTG, Marvel heroes and villains rely on Lands and Mana to cast their abilities. The five core colors in MTG—White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green—dictate how a hero acts or how a villain schemes:

White: Represents order and protection, which perfectly fits Captain America.
Blue: Represents planning and intellect, which is assigned to Mister Fantastic.
Black: Represents ambition and power at any cost, frequently assigned to villains like Doctor Doom.
Red: Represents raw emotion, speed, and impulse (e.g., Human Torch).
Green: Represents growth and brute strength.
