I got Wingspan as a gift last Christmas and I found it…beautiful but perplexing. And easy and fun. Ultimately as you said “I enjoy building a tableau of powerful cards while examining pretty bird drawings.” The eggs are cute too. But it was all a little strange for the reasons you described.

“The game includes birds, I can’t deny that” is one of my favorite things you’ve ever written. The case of the Mondays line is up there too.

Great post Klaus! Awesome to see boardgame stuff here after discovering you from FdB.
Are you familiar with the work of Dan Thurot by any chance? He's written extensively on the subject of theme such as here: https://spacebiff.com/2019/07/08/talking-games-2/
I would say he's the smartest writer in boardgames today and I think you'll get a lot out of his work.
I haven't seen that blog before. I'll make sure to check it out
