It’s all so simple and yet, so strategic. Not only do they act as a wild food token and you gain end game points for their use BUT can lose nectar if not used by end of round. The implementation of the way the nectar works is multi-layered and it all works extremely well. Combine that with the End of Game bird abilities on the new cards and you can get a mean combo going here. The simple addition of the nectar VASTLY opens this game up to new strategies.
Now, I’m just gonna say it flat out, I REALLY enjoy what this expansion brings to the table for Wingspan. You just never know who could end up coming out of nowhere to win the game because of these. Plus, I found the “End of Game” bird card abilities much more exciting than the “end of round” bird card abilities. Now, Oceania Expansion not only adds more tokens similar to the European Expansion BUT it also adds a whole new fun and interesting mechanic in the form of the Nectar. Yes, it adds new unique bird cards and there is a new end of round bird card ability but overall there wasn’t really anything game changing about it. Just to touch on them both a bit here, I would say the European Expansion is an expansion that works to increase the amount of tokens you have to utilize.
