A brand-new Wingspan expansion is kicking off 2026, and it's a serious shakeup. Wingspan Americas Expansion is the fourth add-on to the popular board game, and it'll be up for purchase on the publisher store this January 21. (Shipping will take place in February, followed by a wider retail launch from March 2026.) This pack includes well over 100 new bird cards, many of which are hummingbird 'mini' cards. If you're a Wingspan veteran – which many of us seem to be, considering how often it's included on lists of the best board games – these will significantly alter gameplay. That's because they travel between player boards and a new, central 'garden' board.

I've been digging into the rulebook, and this isn't a novelty; it'll change how you approach the game, which is perfect if you're getting a little fed up with standard Wingspan. Basically, hummingbirds dart from the shared garden board to your personal board (so long as there's space for them) or back back on your turn. This provides added benefits, and you'll want to do so because attracting each of the five hummingbird 'types' advances you along a new score tracker. The more kinds of hummingbird you can attract, the more points you'll earn. Wingspan review: "One of the greats" New HeroQuest expansion is all about old-school wizards, and I'm living for the '90s vibe of it all From Indiana Jones to Still Wakes the Deep, the best expansions of 2025 gave us new reasons to return to our favorites As noted in our Wingspan review, the numerous paths to victory are some of the best things about the board game – and this introduces another layer. While it'll likely be too much for newcomers, it'll be a welcome addition for more experienced players. There's no word on pricing yet, but I suspect it'll be in line with the other expansions – e.g. somewhere between $30 / £30 and $40 / £40.
