The bird can be to the left or to the right of the “repeat” bird. You can choose any other “when activated” bird in that habitat and perform its power. When a bird says that I can “repeat” another bird’s ability in the same habitat, how does that work? The birds can be shuffled into the deck to be used as regular cards and can quickly be recognized and pulled out of the deck to use with the player guides when teaching new players.

This Swift-Start Pack helps new players learn how to play the game with the 10 bird cards marked with grey corners and 4 player guides. These birds are part of the Swift-Start Pack which is included in all current printings of Wingspan. What are the birds with the grey triangles in the corners? But in more competitive environments (like digital adaptations or tournaments), it is an official variant to have the turn order determined before everyone chooses which cards and food to keep. The rules say the first player is chosen (randomly) after all players have chosen which bird cards, bonus card, and food to keep. When do we choose the first player? Before or after players choose cards and food? But remember, activating a particular bird power is optional, so you can avoid a cost associated with a bird power by skipping that power entirely. This applies to the basic actions as well as bird powers. Yes, you can always decline a benefit (though you can never decline a cost). No, once you play a bird, it’s permanent.Ĭan I choose to lay fewer eggs, gain fewer food, or draw fewer eggs? Yes, your pink power can activate once after your last turn.Ĭan you discard birds from your player mat? Yes, when drawing multiple cards, you can draw a card from the deck, look at it, and then decide to continue drawing from the deck or draw from the face-up cards.Ĭan I activate pink (“Once Between Turns”) powers after my final turn? What about when drawing multiple cards? Can I draw a card from the deck, look at it, and then decide where to continue drawing birds? This creates the potential for you to reroll in between dice selections. When I gain food from the birdfeeder, do I choose all of the dice at once, or one by one?Ĭhoose dice one at a time. A more advanced list of clarifications for each bird or power can be found here, compiled and maintained by Travis Willse. Be sure to also look at the Appendices for more detail on each bird and bonus card. These “frequently asked questions” only contain answers to general questions.
