TL;DR: For 17-20 bucks this game is a must-buy. When we got notice of the upcoming release we were actually contemplating getting it even if it costs around 40-60 bucks. Alas, there is no excuse to not buy this gem.

I'm by no means a board games aficionado and was introduced to Wingspan by friends. If I hadn't played the "real" version before it would've been really hard to get into. Yet, even if you're struggling at the beginning, this game is a pure gem. You can play this game for hours every day without getting bored.

The PC-adaptation is extremely well-made, considering how complex the board game itself is. A few things could be improved, such as always showing the feeder, no matter which habitat you're currently in, or showing all 3 drawable cards if you're in green or yellow, too. Still, I'd rate it a 10/10 from a UX experience while in a game.

Game-theory-wise, this game has a few very overpowered cards (hello Ravens and Kildeer) which can make you snowball extremely. They should probably get nerfed, but I'm not good enough of a player to give in-depth feedback on balance. Other than that, there are many strategies to explore in Wingspan and honestly, it's just super fun, which is exactly what it should be.

The online mode is a bit weird and sometimes buggy, but nothing too special. It's not perfect, but other players will surely provide better critique than I am able to give.
