Watch “Wingspan SHRUNK: How to Play Wingspan Pocket (Complete Rules Guide),” a how-to-play guide for Wingspan Pocket from TheRulebook on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by TheRulebook on YouTube:
Elizabeth Hargrave shrunk Wingspan into a box the size of a paperback — and it might be the friendliest front door the series has ever had. In this video I teach the complete multiplayer game of Wingspan Pocket: setup, every rule, every icon, scoring, and the advanced goal cards.
Every card is double-sided — a bird on one side, food on the other — and once you choose, it's forever. No dice tower, no tokens, no player boards. One deck does everything. Play birds into a single row, and every turn your ENTIRE flock activates, left to right, including the bird you just played. Six birds ends the game.
Wingspan Pocket also includes a full solo mode against the Automa. It's meaty enough to deserve its own video — that guide is here: https://youtu.be/qg39l-_584E
