Oceania nerfs eggs while making food and cards easier to get. The other features are enjoyable without getting too complicated. Despite the new balance on eggs, I don't think this is a necessary expansion, (at least not to start with).
It's been a good refresh for us so far after 50+ games with the base game and EE, though Oceania makes the game 'easier' (less tight which I'm not sure is ultimately a good thing) and with definite point creep. Saying all that, I especially enjoy the new bird powers with game end bonuses. Nectar as wild is ok but the end-game bonuses seem tacked on.
We play all cards in, which is a shuffling pain but I don't mind. I do appreciate that they made some effort for an expansion that changes things up rather than just more cards. All plays are recorded in base game.
I was very interested in this expansion because of the wild resources and new player boards. After my plays I have found that they are not a problem but a wonderful addition.
way better than the European Expansion. culled
I really like Wingspan and in my opinion the oceania expanison brought a part back to make the game more interesting and enjoyable.

Nice add on. Adds some new mechanics but probably my last purchase for this game. There's only so many birds you can pull from the deck in a given game and with this and the Euro expansion I'm good with this game as is going forward.
