did someone teach you the game, or did you try to learn it from a rulebook? i think wingspan isn't the hardest game to learn to play, but learning any game straight from the rulebook can be a 30+ minute affair even for just one person - 80% of the time, for me eurogames that take 60+ min to play, i would advise against trying to learn it without a rules teacher right before trying to play it

It was the rulebook - neither I nor my friend knew anything about the game other than the grapevine's assessment of its quality. That was 100% the issue and I'm sure we would have enjoyed it if we had a teacher.

I really enjoy tzolkin but agree with your salad comment. The times I've played where I felt like I was doing horribly, and not maximizing any synergies at all, I've either won or come within one point of winning thanks to end game scoring that I didn't consider. The one time I felt like things were coming together and I had a plan, I got slaughtered by end game scoring.
