BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
What to know
Set aside a longer session to build your dragon sanctuary. Explain how excavating caves, playing dragons, and advancing in the guild fit together before starting. Wyrmspan stands on its own, so you do not need Wingspan to play.
Learning the rules
Caves, dragons, and the guild have connected rules to learn. The publisher also describes the game as heavy.
Planning your time
Allow extra time to set up, explain the rules, and pack away.
