Wyrmspan, a new 1-5 player competitive tableau and engine-building game, announced

Wyrmspan, a new Stonemaier game from Apiary designer Connie Vogelmann, was announced today. Wyrmspan is a 1-5 player competitive tableau and engine building game inspired by Wingspan, though Wyrmspan will up the complexity. In Wyrmspan, players take on the role of an amateur dracologist in the town of Wyrmspan, which is inhabited by dragons of all shapes and sizes, and throughout the game players will work to build a sanctuary for these dragons. Wyrmspan is set to launch on January 31st, with a retail release in late March. You can check out a trailer above and read below for more details:

You are an amateur dracologist in the world of Wyrmspan, a place where dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors roam the skies. Excavate a hidden labyrinth you recently unearthed on your land and entice these beautiful creatures to roost in the sanctuary of your caves.

During a game of Wyrmspan (1-5 players, 90 minutes), you will build a sanctuary for dragons of all shapes and sizes. Your sanctuary begins with 3 excavated spaces—the leftmost space in your Crimson Cavern, your Golden Grotto, and your Amethyst Abyss. Over the course of the game, you will excavate additional spaces in your sanctuary and entice dragons to live there, chaining together powerful abilities and earning the favor of the Dragon Guild.

Wyrmspan is inspired by the mechanisms of Wingspan, though its unique elements make Wyrmspan a standalone game (not compatible with Wingspan). It is designed by Connie Vogelmann (Apiary), illustrated by Clementine Campardou, and developed by Elizabeth Hargrave (Wingspan).
