Bring the birds of the Americas to your aviary
A ruby-throated hummingbird hovers at the feeder while a pileated woodpecker works a pine tree in the backyard. Both of them are on cards in this expansion, and both of them score like small strategic puzzles.
Wingspan Americas is an expansion for Wingspan and requires the base game to play. It brings a full set of new bird cards focused on species found across North, Central, and South America, plus hummingbirds with their own dedicated mechanical track. The flow of a turn is unchanged: you still play birds into habitats, still gain food via the dice tower, and still chain powers across rounds.
What is new is the hummingbird focus. Hummingbird tokens move on their own track, tied to nectar and other resources in a way that adds decisions without pulling you away from the base game you already know how to teach.
This is a natural first expansion for any North American Wingspan owner, especially players who have built a soft spot for local species after years of the base game. It also plays nicely alongside European, Oceania, and Asia, so you are not forced to choose.
If you are new to Wingspan entirely, start with the base game. Americas is the kind of expansion that shines once you have a feel for how birds chain in the base box.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can play Wingspan Americas?
The expansion does not change player count. With base Wingspan it supports 1 to 5 players.
How long does a game of Wingspan with Americas take?
Still 40 to 70 minutes, the same as base Wingspan. First plays with the new cards may run a little longer while you read through the hummingbird mechanics.
Do I need the base game to play this?
Yes. Wingspan Americas is an expansion and requires the Wingspan base game to play.
Can I mix Americas with the European or Oceania expansions?
Yes. The Wingspan expansion line is designed to mix freely. Most players shuffle all their bird cards together and draw from the combined deck.
Should I get Americas or European first?
European is the longest-standing expansion and the one most players start with because it adds round-end powers. Americas is a great pick if you particularly like North and South American birds, or if you already own European.
What is the hummingbird track?
A new mechanical element that tracks hummingbirds separately from the main bird-and-habitat layout, tied to nectar and other resources. It gives you an additional scoring lane without slowing the core game down.
