It plays especially well with two players, making it a great choice for couples or friends looking for a game that offers both thoughtful planning and replayability. If you’re a fan of games like Wingspan or enjoy engine-building games with gorgeous artwork and polished production, Finspan is absolutely worth adding to your collection.
Review: Great family game. Anyone can play - Wingspan is the perfect choice if you want a game that has more depth than standard board games but isn't overwhelmingly complex. The mechanics are smooth: you collect food, lay eggs, and draw from a massive deck of unique bird cards to create powerful point-scoring combinations on your player mat. Because there are so many different birds and bonus objectives, every single game feels fresh and requires a slightly different strategy. It plays great at all player counts, and the included "Automa" mode makes the solo version surprisingly fun and challenging. Learning the iconography takes a game or two, but once it clicks, the turns flow quickly. A masterpiece of modern game design!

## Features

- Fish Collecting: You are a marine researcher seeking to find and observe an array of aquatic life in the colorful Sunlight Zone, ghostly Twilight Zone, and pitch-black Midnight Zone of the world's seas and oceans.
- Plays in 4 Rounds: Dive into the watery depths to find and observe a vast array of aquatic life over a 4 week (round) period. Each round plays quickly, and the whole game takes around an hour, depending on familiarity with the game and number of players.
- Build Your Engine: Grow your collection of fish, discover freshly laid eggs, hatch eggs into young, and consolidate young to form schools. Earn points, play new fish, help others, and many other abilities! The winner is the player with the most points gained from fish, eggs, young, schools, and achievements.
- Inspired by Wingspan: While some of the gameplay may feel familiar from Wingspan, there are many new elements that make Finspan a fun, new experience! Finspan is a part of the World of Wingspan, along with Wyrmspan, and explores aquatic life with lighter, more entry-level gameplay mechanisms.
- High Replayability: Finspan includes 135 unique fish cards and 9 different achievement tiles, which means that this game provides endless opportunities for fish combinations and discovery.
- For families, solo gamers, and game groups alike: This hand management strategy game for 1-5 players has a 45-60 minute playing time with only a 5 minute setup time. Great game for couples, solo gamers, 2 players, family, and friends.
- Beautifully Designed and Illustrated: Light-weight, card-driven board game from designers David Gordon (Monkey Palace) and Michael O’Connell, and developed by Elizabeth Hargrave (Wingspan). Beautifully illustrated by Ana Maria Martinez (Wingspan), Catalina Martinez, and Mesa Schumacher (Eco-System: Coral Reef) with support from Natalia Rojas (Wingspan) with a lovely realistic and naturalistic art style.
- Thematically Designed Mechanisms: Most fish cards have an ability that benefits you during the game. Many of these abilities tie into the nature of the fish represented on the card. For example, to play a predator fish, you must consume another fish on your board.
- Solo Play: Features an Automa to play against in a 1-player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes.
- Published by Stonemaier: Stonemaier is a tabletop game publisher based in St. Louis and distributed worldwide. Stonemaier's brands include Viticulture, Euphoria, Between Two Cities, Scythe, Charterstone, My Little Scythe, Between Two Castles, Wingspan, Tapestry, Pendulum, Red Rising, Rolling Realms Collection, Libertalia, Smitten, Expeditions, Apiary, Wyrmspan, Stamp Swap, Finspan, Tokaido, Vantage, Origin Story, Duel of Meloch, and Wingspan Pocket.
