   We decided to play Wingspan, the birdwatching boardgame, a couple of nights ago. I threw together a Spotify playlist ad hoc, but I am wondering if you have suggestions for more songs to add for future play sessions.

     @danyork Wingspan is a wonderful game! Each player is allocated an ecosystem, and uses different resources to add bird species to their board. The different species give you different abilities. It comes with a few hundred real North American bird species, and there are extension packs for Europe and Asia. It's competitive, but like Ticket To Ride, it doesn't require directly attacking your opponents. We've played a few times; it's definitely a long learning curve.

     @evan I want to hear more about Wingspan! I have never heard of a birdwatching board game before. What did you like about it? Was it fun to play?
