Wingspan Pocket

About this product

Gather birds from around the world in a lighter, faster Wingspan experience.

A standalone Stonemaier card game for 1–5 players, with solo Automa play included.

Play birds, manage food and eggs, and build a six-bird flock through clever card powers.

Product Description

Wingspan Pocket brings the beautiful world of Wingspan into a lighter, shorter standalone game built around a single growing flock.

Each double-sided card can represent either a bird or food, giving every card an important role in the choices you make. On your turn, choose a Nest action to play a bird, draw cards or lay eggs, then move through your flock from left to right and activate your birds’ powers.

As your flock grows, new birds create more opportunities to gather resources, tuck cards, lay eggs and build towards your final score. Brown powers can activate as you move through your flock, while green powers remain active throughout your turn.

The game ends when a player reaches six birds in their flock. Score your birds, eggs and tucked cards, with additional goal scoring available in advanced play.

Wingspan Pocket also includes a dedicated Automa solo mode, giving solo players an artificial opponent with adjustable difficulty levels.
