Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.

  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.

  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

I recently got the Asia expansion for Wingspan and I've been really enjoying the Duet board. It adds a whole new layer of strategy that really makes you have to pay attention to the birds you're playing.

what does the Asia expansion bring? i've only played the Oceania expansion but it seems like it changes up the game a good bit

@BloodSlut Besides the usual stuff, it adds Duet Mode (for 2 players) and Flock Mode (for 6-7 players). The Duet Mode adds a duet board that you add pieces to every time you play a bird. The goals from the expansion are all related to the duet board. The placement rules for the duet board really forces you to pay attention to the birds you play.

Sounds cool! I feel like as it is that Wingspan already has pretty decent 2 player gameplay, so its interesting to hear about something that's more specifically tailored to it. Ill have to look into it more, thanks!
