The Flight to Wingspan (and its aftermath) with Game Creator Elizabeth Hargrave

 , ,

For the Family Lectures & Workshops Open to the Public

Released in 2019, Wingspan is an award-winning, competitive, card-driven board game that has sold over a million copies. In Wingspan, you, the player, control a small wildlife refuge, a little patch of ground with some forest, some grassland, a marsh. Your job is to populate the preserve with a flourishing array of birds. . READ MORE ABOUT THE GAME:

Wingspan is a phenomena that is turning gamers into birders and birders into gamers. The game’ creator, Elizabeth Hargrave has revolutionized the table-top industry with Wingspan and more recent arrivals like Mariposa. Join NHSM as we welcome Elizabeth for a special Must Learn Thursday where she will share:

  • How did I make Wingspan?
  • What happened when it came out?
  • What else have I been working on & playing?

Elizabeth Hargrave is a board game designer inspired by a love of nature and a desire to play games that break away from tried-and-true themes. My first game, Wingspan, won the 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres. When I’m not gaming, you’ll often find me hiking, birding, or collecting mushrooms in and around Washington, DC.
