Why Wingspan.
Birds, engine-building, exquisite art. Plays light enough for casual nights, deep enough for repeat play.
It plays best in 3-4 players, two players and family with kids situations — that's where this pick earns its place over the alternatives at the same weight class.
No paid placement. No sponsorship. We tested the game and chose it. The Amazon link funds the lights — if you'd rather buy direct from a local game store, find one via BoardGameGeek.
