Quick answer
The Additional Asian Avians pack adds 25 completely new fan-designed birds to Wingspan, with art matched to the base game's style. It works as a small, optional expansion: shuffle the new birds into your existing bird deck before setup and play as normal.
Where these birds fit alongside the Asia expansion
This pack covers a continent already represented in Wingspan, so it supplements rather than replaces the birds you already own. It is not a standalone expansion and does not add new rules, boards, or components beyond the bird cards.
Because the pack contains only bird cards, it does not depend on owning the Asia expansion. You can add the birds to a base-game deck, an Asia deck, or a mixed collection; the cards simply join the bird pool you already play with.
What you give up by adding promo birds
Mixing 25 new birds into a large deck makes each individual card slightly rarer, so specific combos become less predictable. If your group prefers a tight, familiar bird pool, add the pack in smaller batches or keep it separate for occasional games.
The pack is also print-only content: there is no digital code or app integration included. Treat it as a physical card addition, not an account unlock.
Common questions about the Asian Avians promo pack
What is in the Wingspan Additional Asian Avians promo pack?
The pack contains 25 completely new bird cards set in Asia, a continent already covered by Wingspan. The birds were fan-designed and selected in cooperation with Elizabeth Hargrave and coordinator Travis Willse, and the card art matches the general style of the game's other birds.
How do I add promo birds to Wingspan?
Before setup, shuffle the 25 promo bird cards into your main bird deck. Then set up and play as you normally would. There are no extra rules to learn; the new birds use the same card structure as the rest of the deck. Shuffle thoroughly, since the new cards may be visually similar to existing birds.
Is the Asian Avians pack compatible with the Wingspan Asia expansion?
Yes. The cards are standard Wingspan bird cards and can be mixed into any bird deck you use, including one built around the Asia expansion. The pack does not require the Asia expansion to play, and it does not add new Asia-specific rules.
Can I use these birds without owning Wingspan Asia?
Yes. The pack is a set of bird cards, not an expansion box. You can add it to a base-game Wingspan deck or any other Wingspan bird deck you already own.
Does the pack change the game's rules or difficulty?
No. It adds bird cards only. Any effect on difficulty comes from the individual bird abilities printed on the new cards, which follow the same design framework as the rest of the game. The pack itself introduces no new mechanisms.
Is there a digital version of these promo birds?
The supplied product information describes a physical promo pack of printed cards. No digital code or app integration is listed, so plan on using the cards at the table only.
