Wingspan – Pocket Edition

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A lighter, swifter version of the award-winning Wingspan.

Wingspan – Pocket Edition distils the Wingspan experience down to a lighter, shorter, card-driven game that has each player activate a single row of cards on each of their turns. The cards are all double sided: a food side and a bird side. Bird powers are primarily indicated by icons instead of text, and they include a new type of power, ongoing (green) benefits.

Wingspan – Pocket Edition is designed to be accessible to novice players yet also compelling for more experienced gamers. This is a standalone game in a small box, not an expansion (the birds in it are not compatible with Wingspan). Wingspan – Pocket Edition features birds from around the world.

Components

2 rulebooks (multiplayer and solo)
5 Nest cards (57x87mm)
5 player aids (80x120mm)
1 first-player card (57x87mm)
106 double-sided bird/food cards (57x87mm)
60 egg tokens
5 player tokens
1 goal display
9 double-sided goal cards (44x67mm)
11 Automa cards and 1 solo Nest card
1 box (110x160x50mm)

When I’m drawing a bird card, can I draw blind from the top of a food deck and flip over the card?

All cards drawn are kept exactly as they are drawn–if a card says to draw a bird card, the only bird cards available are those in the market that are currently bird-side up. The same goes for food (the only food cards in the market are those that are food face up).

Can I mix these cards with Wingspan bird cards?

Wingspan Pocket is completely independent of Wingspan–it is a standalone game, not an expansion. The cards don’t have nests, they have interactions that don’t work in Wingspan, and they have different backs (birds on the front, food icons on the backs).
