Creation Guidelines

We love it when fans engage with our games and make fan expansions! But please keep in mind that card frame templates are provide for your personal use only. Printed versions of these cards can not be distributed nor sold. Likewise, digital versions also cannot be sold.

You may post digital versions of your creations online for people to download, print, cut, and sleeve at home. If you do so, please make it clear both on the card itself (no official art, icons, or trademarked terms; add “Fan Made” to every card) and in the description of your files (“This is not an official Stonemaier product”) that this is a fan-made card. This is so there is no confusion about what is or is not official.

It’s possible we may contact you and request you make small adjustments to your files to make it clear your work is not an official Stonemaier product. Due to intellectual property laws, fan-made cards can be printed at home for personal use, but not by custom or mass manufacturers. Please do not attempt to mimic the official cardstock; fan-created cards must be clearly differentiated from official cards in multiple ways, including composition.

As for art on fan-created content, you can only use art that you created, art used with permission (and credited), or completely open-source art. No AI-generated art is allowed.

Also, this isn’t a repository or market for third-party accessories (e.g., upgraded food tokens, crafted birdfeeders, custom inserts, etc.). If you make/sell an accessory for Wingspan, please make sure we are aware of it (we don’t take a royalty, but we do have certain guidelines we ask you to follow via a signed document); contact us about this at jamey@stonemaier.com.

Thank you for your help! These rules protect the designers, artists, graphic designers, and countless other people who work hard to create games for your enjoyment.

  1. There appears to be a bug with the fan packs – several of the links take you to the Amy’s bejeweled fan pack and the frogmouth pack links to the british expansion instead. Is there a way to get the correct links?

      1. Thanks Jamey. It could have been my computer, I’ve restarted and reloaded and it appears to work fine now. Strange!

  2. Hi, we have a house nectar scoring rule our family has adopted.

    1. Every 4 nectar in a habitat gets 2 points, every 8 nectar in a habitat gets 5 points (limit 8 nectar in any one habitat)
    2. Everyone can earn these points in every habitat

    We like games that let each person do their best without constantly looking over at other players boards to try to edge them out of some category.

    We find that this takes the pressure off and lets us enjoy the game even more. We play a very friendly version, including being generous with activating brown powers and using the non-competitive side of the round end tally board.

    I know this isn’t for everyone, just wondering if it could be considered for a rule in the future, especially with the digital game where you can’t play by house rules.

    Thanks!
    Jeff

  3. When printing out the game cards, what settings (size, finish, card stock, etc.) do you recommend to keep the fan cards as close to the original cards as possible?

    Also – are there card manufacturers you recommend?

    1. Scott: Due to counterfeit and IP concerns, we’re not looking for people to make cards that are indistinguishable from Wingspan cards. I recommend using thicker paper and sleeving the cards if you want them to blend in with your other cards, or print a separate deck of fan-designed cards and keep that deck face-up next to the card tray.

  6. Thats Awesone, thank you ! Since i am already posting, on fairs like Essen it would be awesome if we could by just a single golden egg. I dont need 30, just one so only the winner of the last game is allowed to use. What i love about Wingspan ? The knowing that there will be a new Expansion (maybe the last) in about 6+/- years. Because anticipation is a good feeling and we can have it for our favorite game for so long. I dont mind when Elisabeth slowes down.
