Birds as engines, parallel play
Wingspan is a medium game (weight 4/10). Strategic depth is moderate (6/10) — pleasant to learn, but not infinitely deep. Decisions come at a steady pace (6/10) — engaged without being exhausting. Interaction is light (4/10); it leans toward parallel play. Direct attacks are minimal (0/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

Most variance is input randomness (7/10): luck arrives before your decision and you plan around it. Catch-up is moderate (5/10).
The theme is well-integrated (7/10). There's a clear engine-building feel (engine 7/10). There's some narrative flavor (narrative 5/10).
