{"product_id":"wingspan-pocket","title":"Wingspan Pocket","description":"\u003cp\u003eWingspan Pocket takes everything that makes the award-winning Wingspan so compelling and distils it into a faster, more accessible package. Each turn you activate a single row of cards, keeping the game moving at a brisk pace without losing that satisfying sense of building something beautiful. The double-sided cards do double duty — one side shows food, the other a bird — and bird powers are expressed primarily through icons, making the game intuitive to pick up even for first-timers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to this version is the ongoing (green) benefit mechanic, which rewards long-term thinking and gives experienced players plenty to chew on. Wingspan Pocket features birds from around the world and is fully standalone — the birds here aren't compatible with the original Wingspan, so this is its own complete experience in a small, travel-friendly box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessible enough for newer players, layered enough for veterans. Whether you're introducing someone to the hobby or looking for a lighter evening game that still rewards good decisions, Wingspan Pocket earns its place on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's good?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrisk, card-driven gameplay — a full game in around 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-sided cards are clever and tactile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew ongoing (green) powers add strategic depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes solo mode (Automa system)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirds from around the world — fresh content, not a rehash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall box, big personality — genuinely travel-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Fans of the original Wingspan who want a lighter option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Families with older children (8+) looking for a step-up game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Solo players who enjoy an Automa-driven challenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ Gamers who want something satisfying but quick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✖ Those expecting compatibility with original Wingspan birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✖ Players who prefer deep, long-form strategy games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight (1.95 \/ 5)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Management, Card Drafting, Engine Building\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStonemaier Games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElizabeth Hargrave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtists\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatalia Rojas \u0026amp; Ana María Martínez\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSTM948\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e850064100419\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 × 5.0 × 17.2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.40 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Explore the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wingspan\" title=\"Wingspan games collection\"\u003eWingspan collection\u003c\/a\u003e for more titles in this family of games.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stonemaier Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60666344440142,"sku":"LOG-STM948","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/9812\/9230\/files\/wingspan-pocket.webp?v=1788548422","url":"https:\/\/lifeofgames.co.uk\/products\/wingspan-pocket","provider":"Life of Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
