Wingspan: European Expansion arrives on May 5




We liked Wingspan a lot when we reviewed it in late 2020, calling its digital recreation of the bird-based board game "a must play" in our 90% review, and users on Steam seem to share that feeling: It's rated as "overwhelmingly positive" across more than 4,100 user reviews.

Help Us Test Base Version of Wingspan

[h2]Birders of Steam![/h2]

[h3]The release of Wingspan: European Expansion is coming very soon (we recommend you to keep checking our social media & Discord 😉). When building the DLC we have introduced some changes and optimizations to the base game, Wingspan itself. We would like to test them before the release of the European Expansion.

We want Wingspan and its expansion to run smoothly for you, to have as few bugs as possible and to give you a lot of fun. Therefore, we would like to invite you to help us test Wingspan! If you want to feel like part of the development team, then this is a great occasion![/h3]

[h2]TESTS APPLY TO THE BASE VERSION OF WINGSPAN ONLY[/h2]

[h2]What do you need to do to participate?[/h2]

[h3]If you own the game Wingspan on Steam, right-click on the game in your library, and click Properties. Select the BETAS tab, and select the public_test_realm branch. You will then get to the test version of the game.

NOTE Finding an online matchmaking partner on the public_test_realm branch may be harder than on the default one. If you want to play back on the base version of Wingspan with regular players, select NONE in the BETAS tab in the game Properties.[/h3]

[h2]How can you help?[/h2]

[h3]First of all, by reporting bugs! Please include a description of what actions you took before the problems occurred. Also, there are a couple of good ways to report issues:

1. Submit a bug report through the in-game bug reporting system

Click on a bubble with a worm inside that will appear in the upper left corner of the screen and describe your problem.

2. Describe the bug on a dedicated channel on Discord

Join our Discord HERE. In the Announcements channel, you will find the 🎯 emoji below the post. Click on it and you will get access to a hidden channel specifically for Wingspan testers.

3. Send us a ticket along with the relevant files to [email protected]

If a bug you encounter causes the game to break completely (e.g. when it crashes or freezes) you can send us the player and player-prev log files by e-mail. This will help us look into the problem better. Besides the files, remember to describe the issue and write [WINGSPAN BETA] in the title of the e-mail. Below you can find information on where to look for the Player and Player-prev files:

PC log location:
C:Users[username]AppData/LocalLow/MonsterCouch/Wingspan/Player.log

Game log location on Mac:

Birders of Steam!

Grab some of the best digital board games adaptations on Steam 30% off and more!

Together with our pals from Nomad Games, we created the Board Birds Bundle - a pack of card games for birds and fantasy enjoyers. The bundle consists of a digital version of Wingspan, Talisman: Digital Edition and its DLC, Talisman - The Highland Expansion.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/24960/

Wingspan probably needs no introduction for you, but below you can find some info about Talisman and its expansion:

Talisman: Digital Edition is a multiplayer version of the classic fantasy adventure board game, Talisman. On your travels, you will need strength, courage and some good dice rolls to survive the dangers you face and beat your opponents to the centre of the board!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/247000/Talisman_Digital_Edition/

In Talisman - The Highland Expansion you'll discover the Highland Region, one of the four Kingdoms surrounding the land of Talisman. This expansion adds a new board piece to the main Talisman board, ready to be explored.

If you already have one of those games, you can still get the rest of them discounted with this bundle as a completion (without buying again the game you already have). What's more, you can now get an extra discount on Talisman and Talisman - The Highland Expansion and grab the games for as much as 75% off!

The bundle will be available until March 27.
