Wyrmspan – Raise Dragons in a Hidden World Beneath the Earth

Who is this game for?

Wyrmspan is for players who enjoy engine-building games with layers of strategy and beautiful, thematic presentation. Whether you love Wingspan and want a new twist on its formula, or you’re drawn to games where smart planning and timing pay off, Wyrmspan will feel both familiar and fresh. It’s ideal for thoughtful gamers who appreciate efficiency puzzles, combo-building, and a sense of discovery each playthrough.

Theme & Tone

Wyrmspan invites you into its own rich dragon-centered setting: an underground world of glowing caverns and wyrms where players nurture and collect dragons rather than birds. Each card features unique dragon life-stages and lore — from emberlings to ancient wyrms — paired with evocative artwork that emphasizes wonder and discovery. The tone is contemplative and magical, blending the satisfaction of strategic engine play with a sense of cozy exploration.

Gameplay & Mechanics

• Explore and expand: Dig tunnels and create caverns to attract dragons to your sanctuary.

• Engine-building elegance: Each new dragon you play enhances your future turns, creating a satisfying rhythm of growth.

• Resource balancing: Manage coins, caves, and dragon cards efficiently — overextend and your plans might collapse!

• Dynamic turns: Chain abilities and react to the evolving board as your engine becomes more powerful.

Gameplay unfolds with smooth pacing and layered decisions, offering rewarding turns whether you’re playing casually or competitively.

Components & Production

Wyrmspan continues Stonemaier Games’ tradition of excellent production quality:

• Over 180 unique dragon cards with striking art

• Custom player boards representing your network of caverns

• Smooth card trays and organized inserts for quick setup

• Premium-quality tokens and cave tiles

The tactile components and rich visual design make Wyrmspan a showpiece game that’s as fun to play as it is beautiful on the table.

Difficulty & Challenge

Wyrmspan offers moderate strategic depth — accessible to newer hobbyists but rich enough to satisfy experienced players. Early turns focus on setup and efficiency, but choices quickly compound, requiring careful planning and adaptation. It rewards players who enjoy optimization, synergy, and long-term strategy over randomness or direct conflict.
