Some of the birds from the Oceania Expansion require you to pay nectar specifically to be able to play them, but other than that nectar is a really flexible food resource - except for one thing. You can use it instead of any other food type in the game - at least for the most part. So, let me explain a bit more about the role of nectar. The reason is, that nectar already scores in another way, which is why a new score pad was also added for the Oceania Expansion. There are also new end of round goals, but none of them actually feature any points for nectar. That in itself doesn't feel like a necessary result of introducing nectar as a new type of food, but it was an opportunity to change how the game is played a little. The player mats have also been replaced by new ones. The food symbols have been re-arranged to make room for nectar, represented by a pink flower, which will have an effect on what food you will be able to gain.
Having a new food type in itself seems quite innocuous, but the nectar in the Oceania Expansion has wide-reaching consequences.įirst of all, there is a new set of food dice, replacing the existing ones completely. Let me pick up on the introduction of this article and talk about the new food type: nectar. I think, there will be enough to talk about as it is, without going over what the base game already has to offer on its own. I only want to focus on the differences between the base game and this expansion. In this review, I assume that you have played Wingspan and know it fairly well. We've played it quite a bit since, but because this expansion does change quite a few things which affect how you play Wingspan, it took me a lot longer to get to a point where I felt ready to review this latest expansion - which I don't think will be the last expansion either. So it was a no-brainer for us to also get the Oceania Expansion when it came out. If you've read my reviews of the base game or the European Expansion, you will know how much my wife and I enjoy playing Wingspan.
So it's no surprise that this source of food is one of the new resources in the Wingspan: Oceania Expansion by Stonemaier Games.
