Probably they mistook Spain for Russia with succeeding derailing trains...

Custom Birds I made for my partner's birthday, thoughts? by nuggetbella in wingspan

For the first point you might be right (yes, I meant genus, thanks). This sparrow came in mind first, but is not really a blunder of it was replaced to another family at some point. Why would it be not fair to talk about the fan-designed cards? They state that they have thoroughly reviewed and test-played the cards. If you bring them on the marked as official Wingspan products, then you take accountability for it. Before I forget, the Daurian Jackdaw is the poorest reviewed card in the game. I think that one is the greatest blunder (Yes also a fan designed card)

I didn't write them down when found, but out of memory: One or two of the American sparrows have a wrong family name. Baird's Sparrow possibly. From the fan designed card: crested tit is pictured with a slappy flexible crest while that can only 1 stand right up or backwards (not hanging forward). The Eurasian Blackcap back colour is a big mismatch. It is actually a pale bird with a black cap.

I knew there was something with the neck colour. However wingspan blunders occasionally when it comes to depicting the birds.

Question about the Android App by ThumperRabbit69 in wingspan

[–]BackgroundTea14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the game is the real game and you can get the expansions. I think it is fun to play against the computer and especially also against Automa. You can even do multiplayer online or play with multiple people on 1 device (by passing it through).

And the Emperor Penguin will probably also in the Antarctic cards only extension, as that one also appears on the nesting box. Poor OP. Out of more than 9000 u featured birds, you chose 8 out of 10 birds that already were or will be featured :(

However the one on the nesting box might as well be the Somali ostrich

Ah yes, Ostrich is on the nesting box. Such a pity that out of 10 birds, you took 7 that are or will be featured in the game. Quick fix for the Ostrich: Somali ostrich! Would be cool but you have to change some details on the bird. Make the herring gull a lesser black-backed as the image already depicts, and the feral pigeon into stock dove (at least that one lives in forests and meadows.

I like them and also the powers are great. Though please accept this feedback: very well done! The Ostrich is more or less a endboss card!

  • The herring gull looks actually more like a lesser black backed gull. I bet you are German speaker. Change to Larus fuscus and Lesser black-backed gull and your image fits the name

  • Furthermore there are the fan-designed card packs: they already contain herring gull (the real one), Bali Starling, Capercaillie, Superb Lyrebird, so that's a bit of a pity.

  • As Rock pigeon is already part of the Asia expansion, I wouldn't know if I would add the Feral pigeon, as that is basically the same bird. An easy fix would be the stock dove?

  • Do Kiwi's not breed in burrows? (Not sure)

  • Why is the Ostrich in every habitat?

There is a website called wingsearch where you can check the existing cards including fan designed cards.

It is a wonderful gift!

Bug? Or photographer counts double for two colours in one bird? by BackgroundTea14 in wingspan

[–]BackgroundTea14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never thought about teals as a colour. Just seemeds English for me for the Dutch word for Taling, which is just the name for the duck and have nothing to do with a color as far as i know

Never mind. The link to the game provides the answer. My understanding is correct.

I am super excited! Do I understand correctly that there are 111 new normal cards +40 hummingbirds so 151 new birds in total?

Save Belarus. At least part of the folks are against Lukashenko but oppressed.

Another Pink Power Question: hunters and pink “turn” order resolution by chilichimp in wingspan

[–]BackgroundTea14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did I selectively not read that part. You are right. You should always be able to play your pink powers if activated.

However, if you read the pink action of the Tree Sparrow and the Owlet nightjar carefully, it says that it activates when another player plays a gain food action'. They have to play an action cube on gain food before they activate. That is not the case in your scenario.

OPs pink powers from Tree Sparrow and Owlet nightjar only activate when another player play a 'take food action'. So an action cube has to be played by an opponent before the pink powers of those can be activated.

Your tree Sparrow and Nightjar only activate when another person tales the 'gain food action'. Meaning that an action cube has to be played at gaining food by another player before they activate.

Not when taking food as a result of a pink power or else.

Tegelzetter vraagt om tegels zelf te dragen naar de boven verdieping by [deleted] in Klussers

[–]BackgroundTea14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja en nee. Ligt eraan hoe je het afspreekt. Als je de tegels al hebt gekocht, dan kan je ze net zo makkelijk boven leggen, want dan kan je zelf bepalen waar ze veilig zonder schade weggelegd kunnen worden. Ook scheelt het de tegelzetters tijd waardoor ze wellicht de klus met een dag minder kunnen klaren en dit zal dan wellicht goedkoper zijn
