Superb boardgame with simple rules, but the more you play it, the more you see the depth of the game and the tactics you can employ to win. One of our favourite games at Lost Ark Games!

Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: “Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?” or “Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete their project and score points?” Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.

Wingspan Asia is the latest expansion to the popular board game Wingspan, which is known for its stunning artwork, immersive gameplay, and bird-watching theme. In this expansion, players get to discover the diverse birdlife of Asia, including birds from China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and Korea.

The game features 95 new bird cards, each with unique abilities and traits. The artwork on these cards is as breathtaking as ever, and each card comes with a detailed description of the bird’s habitat, diet, and behavior. The cards are divided into four new habitats: Wetlands, Forests, Grasslands, and Himalayas, each with its own set of birds and rules.

In addition to the new bird cards, Wingspan Asia also includes new player mats, dice, and food tokens. These components add new layers of strategy and tactics to the game, as players must balance their bird population with the available food supply and make strategic decisions about which birds to play and when.

One of the most exciting new features in Wingspan Asia is the addition of the bird market. This mechanic allows players to buy and sell birds from a central market, giving them more control over their population and providing new opportunities for strategic play. The bird market also introduces a new level of interaction between players, as they must compete for the best birds and negotiate prices with each other.

Wingspan Asia also includes new end-of-round goals, which add variety and replayability to the game. These goals can range from having the most birds of a certain type to having the most eggs in your bird population. The new goals ensure that no two games of Wingspan Asia will ever be the same, and players must adapt their strategies accordingly.

Wingspan Asia is a fantastic expansion to an already great game. The new bird cards, player mats, and mechanics add a new level of depth and complexity to the game, while the stunning artwork and attention to detail make it a joy to play. Whether you’re a fan of the base game or a bird-watching enthusiast, Wingspan Asia is a must-have for any board game collection.

What are you waiting for? Pack your bags and get ready to travel to the wonderful world of Asia, and see some amazing new sights.
