Birds, as we all know, are dinosaurs. Yet there exists a higher being above birds that answer the question “what if dinosaurs really were birds?”: dragons. I can only assume the exact same logic I’ve laid out here was used during the design process for the board game Wyrmspan, the dragon-oriented follow-up to the bird-focused strategy card game Wingspan. And now, much like Wingspan before it, Wyrmspan too is getting its own video game adaptation.

“Play as an amateur dracologist discovering a world of dragons,” the game’s Steam page explains. “Excavate caves and explore your sanctuary. Entice dragons and chain their abilities to create powerful combos.” This is all a bit vague, obviously, but this reveal of Wyrmspan is mostly just that, with only a hint of gameplay to whet your appetite. But further brief explanations are offered at least.

There is an excavate process, where within whichever of the three locales on offer you choose to build your sanctuary you can play cave cards to open up more space to make room for all of your dragon friends. You then can try and bring in a dragon, of which there are over 180, all “with their own nature and behaviour to live in your sanctuary. Play tiny hatchlings that reward you over time, or adult dragons wielding powerful abilities.” There’s some resource management to consider along the way, which alongside enticing dragons and “climbing higher on the Dragon Guild board” can net you points.

You’ll also have the option to play solo against Automa or bot opponents, though I can’t tell you what the difference is there. If you’re one of those lucky folks with friends, there’s local multiplayer too, or you can opt for some online play if said friends aren’t available (or, you know, you don’t have any (sorry if that’s you)).

No release date attached to Wyrmspan just yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam now.
