Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.
Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.
I think I can trace the insane oumt of Wingspan sales to a New York times article, at least what I gathered when swarms of non gamers started asking for Wingspan.
It still hovers in the top 10 on our sales charts despite not running out of stock at distribution (meaning it sells despite price competition)
The in-laws heard about it from the Today show and begged to play it. Ended after the first round and howls of "The Today show lied". It was not a pleasant evening but that was only a part of it.
By the time we were able to get hundreds of copies to meet demand the pandemic hit so we never did a demo night to teach those people.
I can also imagine a bunch of people paying well over the $50 MSRP during the great wingspan drought on its release year
