I agree with all your pros. Turning Wingspan into a truly parallel game was a brilliant decision. The bird feeder and shared display were never a strong component of WS and greatly slowed everything down. While it’s definitely possible to strand yourself for a turn or two in Earth if you expend all resources of a certain type and then have no one pick the corresponding action, that IS on you and you can recover from it. I also like that almost all scoring cards are impactful and you’re always spoiled for choice.
For me the nice pictures were a major pull. I probably would not have backed it without them…
