Better than Wingspan

Overall a very good game, and much more complex than Wingspan, and more components, and you do need to think two or three steps in advance. In Wingspan, if the food you want isn't in the feeder you are somewhat stuffed (although the expansion overcomes this to some extent) there isn't this limitation in Wyrmspan. Also the number of moves per round are determined by your cash reserves. There is refreshment of 6 per round, but there are a few opportunities to boost this. In addition eggs aren't so important, and you can't lay as many on Dragons. This means my issue with the last round of Wingspan, when you have five turns, and the most profitable move appears to be to collect eggs nearly every turn vanishes here.

Overall I'd recommend.

Much more than Wingspan with dragons

I've played Wingspan a lot - one of my favourite games. Clearly Wyrmspan shares some common ideas with Wingspan, but honestly it does much more than that. More "thinky" than Wingspan and a little longer to play (around an hour). Player boards are similar - there are three cave systems (equivalent to Wingspan habitats), but here you have to excavate the caves before you can play dragons into them, which is a separate action and uses cave cards which grant you various small benefits when you play them. Less randomness than Wingspan due to no dice involved - you generally select your resources from the supply, and you use coins to pay for each action you take on your turn, potentially allowing each player to take a variable number of actions each round as you can keep any coins you haven't spent for the next round. At the start of each round every player receives an additional 6 coins and an egg. Another great addition is the Guilds board which players move their markers around during the game and this provides a variety of extra rewards and end game bonuses.

Highly recommended.

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—the leftmost space in your Crimson Cavern, your Golden Grotto, and your 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.

Wyrmspan is inspired by the mechanisms of Wingspan, though its unique elements make Wyrmspan a standalone game (not compatible with Wingspan).
