Wyrmspan is a fantasy reimagining of the popular game Wingspan—but it’s not just a reskin. It’s a standalone game with new mechanics and a rich dragon-themed setting.
You play as an amateur dracologist exploring mysterious caves and creating sanctuaries for dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Players gradually excavate spaces in three different caves—Crimson Cavern, Golden Grotto, and Amethyst Abyss—and lure dragons into them, gaining special abilities and points.
Just like in Wingspan, players build an engine of effects that grows stronger over time.
Three main actions:
- Excavate: Add cave spaces to your board to make room for dragons.
- Entice: Place dragons into caves, which requires specific resources.
- Explore: Move your adventurer along rows to trigger dragon and cave effects.
Instead of action cubes, players use coins to pay for actions. The Dragon Guild adds another layer of strategy, offering bonuses and long-term goals.
The game provides more strategic choices and less reliance on luck than its predecessor. If you’re looking for a game that combines stunning fantasy aesthetics, deep strategy, and dragons, Wyrmspan is an excellent choice—perfect for Wingspan fans and anyone seeking something new. 🐉🪙🕳️✨
