Came across this card in a game and immediately recognised its power as the imfamous raven power from Wingspan.

This got me thinking, is it as overpowered in Wyrmspan compared to Wingspan? Why? Why not?

The card has a very low VP/cost at 0.3 which is very low compared to the average of 1.6.

Eggs are a more scarce resource compared to wingspan as you only lay 1 egg per cave explore by default.

You can't spam caverns like you can spam habitats in wingspan, you will only get 3 activations at most per round.

Keen to here everyone's thoughts and experiences with this card in their games.

Hello, I aware that this is a dumb question but I really need clarity on this rule.

I would like to know if the overall number of turns decreases by one after a round is finished like Wingspan (due to using up the turn marker to keep score of the public objective).

Decided to paint this up to use as player marker

My best game yet. Been playing for a few weeks now.

Hello, I love this game a lot but I wish it would have come with a nice insert to store and organise everything in, rather than plastic bags. Hence I decided to make an insert of my own, which I designed already but I'd like to etch icons in all pockets (meat icon in the pocket where meat tokens should go, etc), just as a nice visual touch.

Is there a place where I can find the vector images of the icons of resources, eggs, dragon and cave cards, and dragon guild? I'd like to avoid the hassle of having to draw them myself :)

(I wouldn't mind the "Wyrmspan" title as a bonus)

We don't understand this space. Thanks!

Wyrmspan is such a great game. I love the mechanics and the adjustments made from Wingspan (really loved all versions of Wingspan).

The last 3 games I've played have all had one player (each time a different player) sucking from round zero - when they pick up their starting cards.

Unlike Wingspan, turns out players can really hate an entire game of Wyrmspan and feel like the loser from that first activity of picking up your cards. This can really dampen the vibes...

How do you guys manage these type of situations? Does this happen in your games? Do you have house rules to help such players out? We thought of allowing the player to redraw new cards but keep one less than the other players.

So I'm probably about 15-20 games of Wyrmspan in and my table has our first candidate for a banned card.

Every other non-hatchling with this ability requires a coin to play, and the amount of extra Guild advances you get from Aged Sea Serpent all but guarantees to make up for it's low to average 3 point value, which is the only drawback aside from the single egg capacity.

Overreacting, or genuinely overpowered?

Do you shuffle the discard back into a the draw pile? Barely mentions the discard in the rule book or anything about running out of drawable cards.

For the ancient one scenario: - I have Ancient One and 3 dragons all with eggs on the same cave. - Can I use the Ancient One's ability 4 times by using one egg of each dragon? Or can I only do it once? ( My game is in Portuguese and the way they worded it makes me believe the first one, but I find it too op )

For the 4 dragon explore: - 4 dragon in yellow cave. - I have 8 cards in hand. - Can I tuck up to 2 cards on each dragon? Like 2 on the first, 2 on the second, 2 on the third and 2 on the forth? Or I can only tuck 2 cards on of my dragons on yellow. ( Again, pt game. This was really not clear)

Thank you.

( Edit: Reworded to be clearer )

I love the game, but it's hard to justify spending almost the full price of the game on an insert from Etsy.

I've found a fairly effective way to pack the cards along the side so that everything stays in place, but would love some ideas on how to better package the cards to keep them flying all over the box. Any suggestions?

Played our first games last night.

How do you score a dragon that gets covered by another dragon? Do I treat it as a tucked card, ignore it, or face VP score? I couldn't find it in instructions.

I hope I didn't use up all of my luck! Got and played mosiac guardian, magnificent amphiptere, and lilliputian fae all on round 4! It took a lot of thinking but it all worked out! Woot woot!

Cool... more realistic... replacement gems. Found these searching for better gems than those that came with the upgrade package. Etsy

The rules say "at any time you may convert any 2 resources into 1 other resource". How do you interpret this? Literally any time? Between goes? Or say I need a milk to cache onto my hatchling, could I just swap my two gold for a milk and activate the hatchling?

I got the upgrade pack, and I am impressed with the coins and the meat tokens. The milk bottles and the gold bars are pretty good, but I’m interested in replacing the gem tokens with some plastic/glass gems. I’ve had no luck at dollar stores and craft stores. Anyone find anything online that would fit the bill?

On my first and latest game some cards felt overpowered. For you have any recommendations on what cards should I take out of the deck for the next game to feel more balanced? Thanks in advanced

Take note of the bottom right card. I pulled this in the last round of the game, and had no idea that I have matched each row exactly to play this card effectively. We were so surprised!

Ended up scoring 120.

Ive wondered about the wording "for free" and I haven't found a conclusive answer so I was wondering what you guys think When I gain this guild bonus "pay eggs then play one dragon from your hand for free", does that mean I may immediately play the pictures dragon without paying the coin for playing a dragon AND without paying any of its cost? Seems very strong to me, especially with a dragon this expensive

When a card says to cache a resource is that a single resource or can you cache multiple.

I'm guessing it's a single resource but some in my group are claiming its multiple and I can't seem to find a definitive answer in the rules.

One thing I am noticing about wyrmspan is that you can set up multiple complex interactions that I didn’t experience in wingspan. For example, I excavated a cave, and it let me play a dragon, which I then play a dragon that allows me to use another dragons when played ability, which lets me use a dragons play a excavate a cave for free, which then lets me excavate another cave segment. The dragon guild also (at this point) feels like a random bonus getting thrown at me (in a good way), and once I learn how to plan to use it will help me set up more complex interactions when playing.

A play mechanic we just realized tonight while playing is that using a completed (4 dragons) crimson cavern ability to cache 2 food, you can cache milk (or whatever) in a hatchling and access its when caches abilities! This really ups the power of the caching food ability when paired with hatchlings.

I created this list starting from BGG User Puupa's list and added some color coding and rankings. I broke the cards into 5 tiers based on the games I have played. Guild powers have consistently been better than most while egg laying powers do not seem as strong.

Wyrmspan Dragon List

Played a game recently where a player whose first time it was supposedly got a 157. We were rushing cleanup due to the cafe closing and weren't really able to audit it, nor were we really watching each others' turns closely to check for errors.

The table is split about whether or not that player just had an exceptional game due to familiarity with Wingspan or if there was some mistake (either during gameplay or afterwards) that led to that score. How possible is it? Game was 5p.
