A competitive fish collecting game
Finspan
In Finspan, the fish you discover over 4 weeks will generate a series of benefits as you dive deeper into the ocean. Each dive site specializes in a key aspect of expanding your research:
- Grow your collection of fish
- Discover freshly laid eggs
- Hatch eggs into young, and nurture the young into schools
Finspan is inspired by the mechanisms of Wingspan, though its unique elements make Finpan a standalone game (not compatible with Wingspan).

As a huge fan of Wingspan, I was incredibly excited to try Finspan, and it did not disappoint! This game brilliantly captures the essence of its predecessor while introducing fresh, thematic twists that make it stand on its own. If you adore the strategic depth and elegance of Wingspan, you’ll feel right at home with Finspan.The gameplay mechanics retain that satisfying balance of strategy and luck, with new elements that keep things exciting and innovative. I particularly loved how Finspan takes the core concept of collecting and nurturing (in this case, aquatic life) and gives it a unique spin with new abilities and challenges. The components are stunning—true to the high-quality standards set by Wingspan—with beautifully designed cards and tokens that immerse you in the underwater world.What truly stood out to me was how Finspan builds on the educational aspect of Wingspan. Instead of learning about birds, you dive into fascinating facts about marine life. It’s an engaging way to expand your knowledge while competing in a fun, family-friendly setting.Overall, Finspan feels like a love letter to Wingspan fans while being its own game worth celebrating. Whether you’re a seasoned board gamer or new to the hobby, this is one title you don’t want to miss!

Between wingspan, wyrmspan, and now finspan, this game has elegantly pared down some of the mechanics, making it easy for newcomers to the game to get in. I highly recommend this as a first game of the three. I also appreciate that the game isn’t as tied to acquiring food, therefore freeing up the player to consider other strategic decision. Very much looking forward to the expansions! And it’s a relatively quick play.

This game is so good it’s actually upsetting.Good- Easy to pick up (well, easier than WingSpan & WyrmSpan)- No resources- Quick setup- EducationalBad- Might feel too easy compared to the othersNeutral- It’s fish- Component upgrades make it more enjoyable imo- Expensive (relative, the high replayability might be worth the money to most)
