Wingspan publisher Stonemaier Games announced Wyrmspana Wingspan-like game that trades birds for dragons on Wednesdays. Designed by Apiary creator Connie Vogelmann, Wyrmspan is a game for one to five players, inspired by the popular bird board game. Elizabeth Hargrave, who created Wingspandeveloped Wyrmspansays Stonemaier Games in a press release. Wyrmspan looks a lot like Wingspanwhere you attract birds to habitats, but with a 'step up in complexity' and several 'key differences'.
In a 90 minute game of Wyrmspandraw your dragons to a shrine to impress the Dragon Guild. Wyrmspan will go on sale on the Stonemaier Games website in late January, with a retail launch in late March.
Here's how Stonemaier Games described it:
You are an amateur dracologist in the world of Wyrmspan, a place where dragons of all shapes, sizes and colors roam the skies. Dig up a hidden labyrinth you recently unearthed on your land and entice these beautiful creatures to nest in the sanctuary of your caves.
During a game of Wyrmspan you build a sanctuary for dragons of all shapes and sizes. Your shrine starts with 3 excavated rooms: the leftmost room in your Crimson Cavern, your Golden Grotto, and your Amethyst Abyss. Over the course of the game, you'll dig out additional spaces in your sanctuary and entice dragons to live there, chaining together powerful abilities and earning the favor of the Dragon Guild.
Wyrmspan is inspired by the mechanics of Wingspan, although its unique elements make Wyrmspan a standalone game (not compatible with Wingspan).
Like it Wingspan, Wyrmspan has beautiful art. French artist Clementine Campardou illustrated the game and all its dragons in watercolor; you can find different paintings on its website.
