![]() In comparison, there is no limit on how many cards a player can tuck under a single bird card. The egg spamming strategy is great but the maximum amount of egg VPs are limited by the capacities of the nests. Be on the lookout for these type of birds when you are focusing on the egg spamming strategy. Having birds that allow you to discard eggs and gain something in return means you may need to spend less time developing one of the 2 other actions and just focus on maxing out the VPs with laying eggs. To become successful in Wingspan, players generally want to play birds to cover as many spaces in all three habitat areas to ensure that their “gain food," “lay eggs," and “draw bird cards” actions yield better results when taken. Since its debut, many of my fellow strategists have analyzed the mechanics of Wingspan and the general consensus is that there are two best ways to score big VP in Wingspan - tucking birds (cache) and laying eggs (egg spamming). If you want to give this a shot, playing more wetland birds would help increase your chances of drawing the cards you need. ![]() Out of 90 cards from Wingspan: Asia, there are 7 cards that allow you to draw new bonus cards and one (The Great Indian Bustard) that allows you to score a bonus card. The “Endangered Species Protector” bonus card gives players 3 points for each bird that allows them to score or draw bonus cards. Most of the time, players would get more points just laying eggs at that stage. A player might be lucky and find a card that could give them 3 to 4 points because the 1st tier requirement is satisfied, but I wouldn’t personally waste any extra actions to push for tier 2 or 3 in order to earn the extra VP. Just know that even if one could draw 2 or 3 and keep one, chances of getting a perfect card is very slim. Players may be tempted to go for birds that award extra bonus cards when played. The bonus cards in Wingspan: Asia have either a three-tier point spread of 3 - 5 - 8 or a two-tier point spread of 3/4 - 6/7 with one exception. If you have birds in your opening hand that combo well with each other or a bird in the market, it might be worth it to disregard other factors and focus on building a good engine. ![]() To determine which cards to keep/tokens to discard, be sure to consider all the factors including the bonus card requirement, end-of-round goals, available food types in the bird feeder, as well as the three birds in the market and player order to find the perfect balance and synergy. Just like the base game of Wingspan players receive 5 bird cards and 2 bonus cards at the beginning of Wingspan: Asia. ![]()
