Wingspan Oceania Strategy | How to build a strong wetland engine! 

My thoughts exactly! I was screaming for him to pick it up. Even if he didn't play it til later, it would have been a great 5th position bird. He got lucky to find the goose. Great game though

My thoughts too!!!! would have been huge!

Sandhill Crane is great! But too early, it just kills all momentum, I need the food from the Maned Duck to be able to play birds so I can’t spent it getting tucks. Could I have picked up the crane and kept it for later - absolutely! But it’s worth noting when I play the games for these engine building videos, I do several takes so I’m willing to take more risks for the additional points. As you can see watching this game, it all worked out in the end 😉

I was thinking the same, but I think the proof was in the pudding 😅

I think the rainbow lorikeet is amazing! But this video is all about showing what can be done with just the wetlands, so I felt like playing a forest bird early wasn’t in the spirit of what was trying to show

there's a site called wingsearch. I have it in the background while I watch wingspan videos to search and memorize them :-)

Did you watch to the end? 😉

@@WinginitWingspan yeah, you could have scored over 180 points if you kept running the engine and not played the two birds in the grassland. Keep up the great videos!

Thanks, but I’m not sure that’s true! My wetlands at the end was only 8 points per turn, so 16 points over 2 turns. The two grassland birds got me 6 bird points, 7 bonus points, plus a free bonelli play at the game end for 11. I think that works out better than the 16 I would’ve got for drawing cards twice!
