1 - 5 players, 14 years & up You are an amateur dracologist in the world of Wyrmspan, a place where dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors roam the skies. Excavate a hidden labyrinth you recently unearthed on your land and entice these beautiful creatures to roost in the sanctuary of your caves. During a game of Wyrmspan, you will build a sanctuary for dragons of all shapes and sizes. Your sanctuary begins with 3 excavated spaces: a Crimson Cavern, Golden Grotto, Amethyst Abyss. Over the course of the game, you will excavate additional spaces in your sanctuary and entice dragons to live there, chaining together powerful abilities and earning the favor of the Dragon Guild. Inspired by the international favorite Wingspan, Stonemaier Game’s Wyrmspan takes ideas from Wingspan and gives them a dragon flair. The game board itself is made up of three smaller central boards (instead of a single big game board) so you can play on smaller tables. Wyrmspan’s player mats are about 18.7” x 11.4” (475x290mm), making them a little wider than Wingspan’s. In the box: 2 rulebooks (multiplayer and solo) 1 dragon fact book (32 pages) 5 player mats (cardboard) 5 adventurer meeples and 5 guild tokens 183 dragon cards (148 full-grown dragons and 35 hatchlings; 2.25”x3.43”) 75 cave cards (2.25”x2.25") 4 dragon guilds 55 speckled egg tokens 10 double-sided objective tiles 45 shiny cardboard coins 10 quick-start cards (2 cards per player; 2.25”x3.43”) 17 Automa solo mode cards (2.25”x3.43”) 1 box (11.65”x11.65”x2.75”, and weighs 5.7lbs) 2 containers with lids for eggs and resources 1 scorepad and more! One of the items listed as a feature of Wormspan: it is color blind friendly!

Average playing time is 90 minutes, once you get the hang of it. If you have people playing who are deep thinkers and planners, it may take *much* longer. Be sure to have plenty of snacks! Each piece of this game is meticulously crafted. The artwork is dreamy, atmospheric, and full of luscious details. We expect nothing less from Stonemaier games. The game was designed by Connie Vogelmann and developed by Elizabeth Hargrave. Both of these brilliant women bring extensive gaming experience to Wyrmspan. With the addition of the powerful artwork from Clementine Campardou, Wyrmspan has all the elements of being a game you will play again and again for years. PS: if you love the artwork, Clementine Campardou has prints available for sale on her website.
