Stonemaier Games' big reveal of Wyrmspan - a new game "in the world of Wingspan" - last week might have descended like a dragon out of the blue, but it's no surprise Elizabeth Hargrave's hugely lauded 2019 design is getting a spiritual successor. Wingspan had sold over 1.6 million copies as of April last year - more than all of Stonemaier's other games - including Scythe, Viticulture and Tapestry - combined. In an industry where selling tens of thousands of copies of a game is often seen as a success, those numbers are astronomical, and make it a no-brainer that more games based on Wingspan's template would be in the works. The task of designing "Wingspan with dragons" was given to Apiary creator Connie Vogelmann - but as she explains in this Q&A interview, the new game is far more than just a reskin of its feathery predecessor.
