SUMMARY:Wingspan Game Event - Sunday\, March 29 at Whitney Center
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of playing Wingspan\, the board game focused on birds! For players new to Wingspan\, we will offer an introduction to the game and a guided playing experience. Players already familiar with Wingspan are welcome to set up independent games. \nThe game is played over four rounds\, which involve different “actions” of acquiring foods and bird cards\, laying eggs\, and playing bird cards on a player mat. Players get points by reaching short-term and long-term goals\, and the player with the most points at the end of round four wins! A four-round game takes 1-2 hours. If you are interested in learning more about the rules\, you will find more information here. \nTo help with logistics\, please let us know via email if you are planning to join us and what your experience with playing the game is (no experience is absolutely fine!). The NHBC has a number of base sets of the game\, but feel free to bring your own game as well. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nOrganizer: Peter Grund\, petergrund93@yahoo.com
