Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.

Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.

    :D I’ve found it to be a divisive game, maybe some snobbery about it’s mainstream appeal, and luck of the draw putting people off.

    Also criticisms over egg laying, which I believe an expansion fixes, but most will have only played the base game, which does have faults.

      People are fools if that’s the reason why. Mainstream appeal for a hobby game means more hobby gamers to play with.

        Oh exactly, I find it’s slightly rigid people who have been playing in groups for years. I love gateway games.

      The egg laying criticism is mitigated a little by the expansions. But I would also say it’s kinda like the first strategy people realize can work. The game is so situational because of the card draw and the randomization that egg laying definitely CAN work well in a lot of scenarios, but personally I look at it as sort of a fall back if something better doesn’t come along.
