Wingspan

I don't use GOG galaxy (it's not supported on Linux), and so I can't play this game online with my friends, which is the only reason I bought it to begin with.

This game has a very steep learning curve. I gave it my best shot but got stuck on the European tutorial, it asked me to play a red kite and no matter where I clicked nothing happened. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. There are a lot of moving parts to this game which I think I would enjoy learning but the tutorial was not clear enough in my opinion.

The game at first seems complex, because you have to learn by force dozens of rules. They are not logical so you can't understand - you have to memorize them by force. Once you get through that, you can play, because once you have accepted these rules, the game is very simple. We played (in two people) three times. And completely enough, we are unlikely to play a fourth time. The game develops very slowly, then suddenly everything can change purely by chance (card draw). Nothing depends on knowledge, strategy. One person has a big advantage from the beginning, but suddenly in the last round a random trifle reverses the scoring. You might as well play something like this: players draw a card, the higher one wins. The end. This way the gameplay is essentially the same, and you'll save a few hours. The only advantages are the pleasant pictures and sounds and some interesting information about the birds (which you can find in Wikipedia too).
