Quick Answer
Assemble the Wingspan Nesting Box by laying out all components, sorting them by type, and following the modular tray layout to fit every card and piece securely.
Why Proper Assembly Matters
The Wingspan Nesting Box is designed to hold all current and future Wingspan content, but only if you assemble it correctly. A rushed setup can lead to wasted space, damaged components, or a box that doesn't close properly.
This guide walks you through the assembly process step by step, highlighting common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
What to Expect Before You Start
Before you begin, note that the Nesting Box does not include the Wingspan game or any expansions. You'll need to have your existing Wingspan components ready to sort and place.
The box is modular and expandable, so you can add more trays as new content is released. This means the initial assembly sets the foundation for future additions.
Step-by-Step Assembly
- Lay Out All Components: Empty the Nesting Box and lay out all trays, dividers, and your Wingspan components. Group cards, tokens, and boards by type so you can see what you're working with. Double-check that you have all pieces from the box before starting.
- Sort Cards by Size and Sleeve Status: Separate cards by their dimensions (e.g., bird cards, bonus cards, goal tiles) and whether they are sleeved. This determines which tray slots they'll fit into. Sleeved cards take up more room—plan for that when assigning trays.
- Place Trays in the Base: Fit the largest trays into the bottom of the Nesting Box first, following the labeled slots. Press down firmly to ensure they sit flush; this creates the foundation for upper layers. If a tray doesn't sit flat, remove it and check for misaligned tabs.
- Load Cards and Tokens into Trays: Place each card group into its designated tray slot, standing cards upright to maximize space. Add tokens and dice to the smaller compartments, using dividers to keep categories separate. Keep frequently used components (like food tokens) in easily accessible trays.
- Stack Upper Trays and Close the Lid: Set the upper trays on top of the lower ones, aligning the notches. Once all trays are in place, close the lid and check that it seals completely without bulging. If the lid doesn't close, remove one tray and reassess—don't force it.
