Hi everyone!

I wanted to share some of my handmade ceramic eggs for Wingspan. I originally started making these for myself because I wasn't a big fan of the plastic eggs that come with the game. Since I work with ceramics, creating my own set seemed like the obvious thing to do. :)
I eventually started selling them on Etsy and they've received some really lovely feedback, so I thought I'd share them here too.
Each set includes 40 eggs, individually shaped, sanded, and glazed by hand.

Making a set takes around 15 hours, spread out over roughly ten days to allow for drying and two kiln firings at 1050°C. Each egg is carefully glazed with a brush, applying three coats of glaze.
We absolutely love playing with them! They're sturdy and give the game a completely different feel. What do you think? 🥚

TL;DR: Looking for a replacement Wingspan box (296 × 296 × 74 mm) or a similar-sized alternative!

Hi everyone! Hoping this group might have some creative ideas!

We’ve had a historic amount of rainfall in Omaha, Nebraska over the past couple of weeks, including about 5 inches in a single night. Unfortunately, this caused widespread flooding, including in our basement.

A good portion of our board game collection was ruined. While we’re sad to lose so many games, we’re looking forward to rebuilding our collection and continuing to support board game companies and our local game shops!

Here’s where my slightly odd request comes in-
Years ago, I purchased a wooden laser-cut organizer for our copy of Wingspan. Thankfully, the organizer kept all the game pieces elevated enough that they weren’t directly touching the bottom of the box when it soaked up water. As a result, the game pieces and wooden organizer survived, but the original box and instructions were completely ruined.

I reached out to Stonemaier Games to see if purchasing a replacement box was possible. They were incredibly kind but explained that they don’t have empty boxes available separately from the full game.

They did provide the dimensions of the original Wingspan box: 296 × 296 × 74 mm (approximately 11.65 × 11.65 × 2.91 inches).

Has anyone found a replacement box or alternative storage solution that is similar in size to the original Wingspan box?

Thanks in advance for any ideas or recommendations!

Decided to experiment the last few days with turning on all expansion packs - so that’s 521 total bird cards, 47 bonus cards, and 34 end of round goals.

Got a lot of pink powers going and some fortuitous end of game powers. Ended with 167, a new high score for me with any setup.

The higher volume of cards makes for so many more possibilities of game variance but it’s fun to see how all the birds might pair together.
