Wingspan is a board game designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and published by Stonemaier Games in 2019. It is a medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game in which players compete to attract birds to their wildlife preserves. During the game's development process, Hargrave constructed personal charts of birds observed in Maryland, with statistics sourced from various biological databases; the special powers of birds were also selected to resemble real-life characteristics.
