It's the late 19th century, and more than 9000 windmills dot the landscape of the Netherlands, some of them purpose-built to dry the lowlands, called polders. In the polders between these windmills are fields filled with colorful tulips-the flower that once was a part of the turbulent history of the first financial bubble but is now simply a quintessential part of the Dutch landscape, especially on the famous Bloemen Route (or 'Flower Route').
In Windmill Valley , a game inspired by the Bloemen Route, you and up to three players take on the role of tulip farmers and entrepreneurs. You will build and enhance your windmills, look for new tulip bulbs in foreign trades or among local vendors to buy and plant, and try to get an edge with hired help and lucrative contracts. Let your blooming fields make your competitors green with envy!
During their turn, players choose the action by rotating the wheels on their windmill board. During the game they can:
Enhance their wheels, by adding enhancements, to build their engine
Plant tulips in their fields, which will score VP at the end of the game
Build windmills on the main board to activate rewards from adjacent fields
Hire helpers that provide bonuses for certain actions
Get contracts for endgame scoring
Visit the local market and conduct a foreign trade
All in all, Windmill Valley is a lightweight game with quick turns, a smart action-selection mechanism, multiple options to build your engine, and a lovely setting.

In cooperation with Elizabeth Hargrave, fan creation coordinator Travis Willse, and a few selected designers, we have officially printed some fan-designed bird promo packs. Each of the different 6 packs in this set feature 25 completely new birds in continents already covered by Wingspan (the art is consistent with the general style of other birds)
The Wingspan Nesting Box is an organize/storage box for all Wingspan content and cards (sleeved or unsleeved). This modular box is designed for all past, present, and future content.
This new version of the Wingspan natural rubber playmat is double-sided (original and Oceania). The original mats are important because most Wingspan expansions are designed with them as the foundation; the Oceania mat is typically used when you're playing with nectar.
Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game from designer Elizabeth Hargrave and Stonemaier Games. It is the winner of the prestigious 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres award.
