Parallel universes influence our own universe in different ways. Folklore speaks of “fairies” with apparently magical properties, who visit our world from another planet. Science fiction talks about a metaphysical “force” seeping through our universe, describing shortcuts through spacetime via other dimensions.

Different civilizations, capitals and carpet cards provide new possibilities and enchantment bonuses help you progress.

In this new part of Wingspan we look for new birds on the Asian continent. 90 new bird species make an appearance, along with new bonus cards and other extras. Release birds in your personal nature reserves and score points by letting them work together as best as possible. This version of Wingspan can be played with two players. The game contains rules for the new “duet” variant. In this variant you score extra points with the help of a tableau with bird properties. As soon as you play a bird, you cover the corresponding attribute on the tableau for bonus points. This makes for a challenging game for two, full of tactical choices. But Wingspan: Asia can also be played as an extension of the basic game. In fact, with the extra playing material, an extra-large game can be played with up to 7 players! The “swarm” variant is used for this. In this game variant, two players always take their turns at the same time and the player group is divided into two. Each group has its own birdhouse and its own card stock, but both groups play together with the same target tiles. So whether you want to try a new two-player experience or make it a big bird party for seven, this expansion is a must for Wingspan fans!

It is the early 1800s, a time of immense construction and urbanization. You are a world-renowned urban planning master who has been asked to redesign two different cities. Projects of such significance require the expertise of more than one person, so for each assignment you will be paired with a partner with whom you can discuss and implement the grand plans. Will your planning and collaboration skills be enough to design the most impressive city in the world? Between Two Cities is a partnership-driven tile-drafting game in which each tile represents part of a city: factory, shop, park, landmarks, etc. You work with the player on your left to design the heart of a city, and with the player on the right to design the heart of another city. On each turn, you choose two tiles from your hand, reveal them, and then work with your partners individually to place one of those tiles in each of your two cities before passing around the remaining hand of tiles. At the end of the game, each city is scored on its livability. Your final score is the lowest score of the livability scores of the two cities you helped design. To win, you must share your attention and dedication between two cities. The player with the highest final score wins the game. The Essential Edition combines components from the original game and the Capitals expansion into one cohesive whole. While it has a larger box than the original game, different artwork on some tiles, and a scorepad instead of a board, there are no new gameplay elements (i.e. if you own Between Two Cities and the Capitals Expansion you'll have everything already) .
