Welcoming the Year of the Snake! – 31/01/25

Hey PI – Fans,

Wishing all of you a very happy Lunar New Year!

In welcoming the Year of the Snake, we present to you Wyrmspan! Featuring 183 different dragons, wyverns, hydras, and most importantly of all, serpents. The objective of Wyrmspan is to build a sanctuary for serpants of all shapes and sizes. Your sanctuary begins with 3 excavated spaces—the leftmost space in your Crimson Cavern, your Golden Grotto, and your Amethyst Abyss. Over the course of the game, you will excavate additional spaces in your sanctuary and entice serpents to live there, chaining together powerful abilities and earning the favor of the Dragon Guild.

Wyrmspan takes place over 4 rounds. Each round, players take several turns in clockwise order, beginning with the player who has the start player marker. Players continue taking turns until they decide to pass; this typically occurs when a player has used all of their coins or they do not have any serpents in their hand that they wish to (or can afford to) play. Once a player has passed, they may not take any additional turns during that round, but they may still gain benefits during other players’ turns.

Other players who have not passed continue to take turns until they spend all of their coins or otherwise choose to pass. Once all players have passed, the round ends. Note that when players pass, they may carry over coins, resources, cave cards, serpents, and nested eggs into the next round.

The winner of Wyrmspan is the player with the most victory points (VP). These are earned in a variety of ways, including the VP value of played serpents, eggs, tucked cards, public objectives, and the Dragon Guild.
