Overview
Fish cards and ocean mats make up the engine in Finspan, a Wingspan-family strategy game about collecting fish. Components are cardboard, cardstock, plastic and wood, with an achievement board and a week tracker marking progress.
A mix of engine building and hand management, with two solo systems, suits groups and single players alike. The limitation is the age confusion and the lack of any guidance on how heavy the rules are.
Who it's for
Players who like building a scoring engine over a session, including those who play alone with the solo modes. Younger children and anyone who wants a light party game should note the age labels and the strategy focus.
Pros and cons
- Supports solo and group play
- Two separate solo systems
- Large deck of fish cards

- Rules complexity not described

Performance notes
Play is organized around fish cards, ocean mats and tokens, with an achievement board and a week tracker marking progress through a game. Hand management means choosing which cards to play and when, while the engine side rewards chains of card effects over time. Solo play replaces opponents with Ravel scoring cards or Nautoma decision cards.
