Finspan, from the game designer:
What’s Different from Wingspan:
--There are no choices to make before the game begins, and the game ensures that all players start with a solid foundation via several fish printed on their player mats, several tokens placed on their mats, and 2 starter fish cards in their opening hand of 5 cards.
--The double-sided achievement board includes one side with pre-printed goals and another side slots for 3 random achievement tiles.
--When playing a card, you are not limited to the first open slot of a dive site (though most fish have specific depths where they live or specific dive sites). Similarly, you go all the way down a column whenever you dive (you’re not limited to sequential cards in play).
--While diving, you gain a benefit at the top of each zone if you have at least 1 fish in the dive site for that zone. This provides a similar feeling to how playing cards in Wingspan provides a sense of progression even if those cards don’t have “if activated” abilities.
--There are once-per-round bonuses at end of each dive site (rewards diversity of actions).
--The cost of most fish is to spend other cards from hand; these cards go into your personal discard pile, and there are ways to reclaim some of those cards.
--There is a strong focus on spatial elements, both in terms of where you play fish and where you lay eggs, hatch eggs into young, and move young to form high-value schools.
--Fish size matters, as you can always cover (“consume”) shorter fish cards on your player mat; fish size is noted in text (centimeters) and icons (small, medium, large).
--Positive player interaction is at the forefront, with many fish featuring “all players” benefits.
--All abilities are conveyed via icons for language independence (some text is included for clarity).

Stephan Reebs updated event Wednesday, 8th of January, 2025<http://hfgclub.ca/events?event_id=544#post_comment>;:
SPAKIM. Happy New Year everyone! After a protracted break due to the holiday season, we are back in full force. Kevin brings a bottle of now-rare Russian Standard. Alain brings Iceberg beer, jam jam cookies, a spicy bar mix, and pickled wieners from Newfoundland. And Ian gives everyone a fancy 3-D printed box that contains a pack of cards, a set of 5 dice, a notebook and pencil to write down scores, and an inlaid mat to roll the dice on when the box is fully open. And each box and dice are of the colour each players favours in our games. Fantastic beginning to the new year.
