Finspan
Wingspan heads underwater, with lighter rules and fish that eat other fish.
What it is
A breezy engine builder for one to five players who like the Wingspan rhythm but not the length. Over four weeks you place fish in the depth zones of your ocean mat, then dive down a column to collect what they offer. Eggs hatch into young, and three young on one space form a school worth six points. We think it suits families and casual players who want a friendly, low-conflict game.
What we love
- Pay with cards from your hand, with no dice or food to wrangle
- Fitting fish by depth and column is a tidy little puzzle
- A solo automa comes in the box
Honest trade-offs
- Very heads-down, with little way to affect anyone else
- No card market, so draw luck can sting
- Strategy fans may want more choice
