The condor however can only have 1 egg placed on the card, drastically hampering the amount of eggs you can have total in whatever habitat its placed in. Many end round goals revolve around egg counts, eggs in grasslands, sets of eggs, eggs on certain nest ect. With it only being advantages to play a few "draw bonus card" affects per game, the condor does itself no favors in at least attempting to be the most appetizing of the 14. Meaning that its not really in your advantage to play more than 1 of these effects per game. Unless you are REALLY good at Wingspan, you will most likely only be able to meet at most 2-3 bonus card goals per game. This effect itself is exreamly underwhelming. Not only is there a lot of competition between birds with this effect. The condor's on played effect is the most COMMON effect in the entire game, an effect it shares with nearly 14 other bird cards.

The condor can be played on any habitat.Ĥ. Here's why.įirst lets go over the stats on the bird.ġ. The California condo is almost always an awful way to waste a "play a bird" action. Wingspan! despite being the king of all birds in this fun, engine building game. Welcome to my Ted Talk, the following rant concerns the game without any expansions.Īt a whopping 277 cm, the California condor has the largest wingspan in.well.
