"Reforest: Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast" is a great little card tableau engine builder where you can play a plant on top of another plant already in your tableau, as long as the new plant is taller than the existing plant. Also, if the existing plant is shade tolerant, then you get to keep the benefit of it (icons and points, but not the ability), otherwise it becomes biomass that is worth a point or can be used to play for other cards. This sounds possibly similar to being able to play bigger fish on top of smaller fish in Finspan?
I like the concept of Wingspan and Finspan a lot, because apart from being wonderful games with creative mechanisms and awesome art, they're also documenting the beauty of nature and the variety of fantastic animals on our planet. In that regard it would be great if you could ask Monster Couch to add Finspan to their outstanding digital projects... Imagine the backgrounds, the moving fish, the underwater sounds... 🙏 Wingspan and Finspan are already a perfect physical duo, they surely would become a perfect digital duo too 🙂
Great video, I’m loving watching your videos. I’ve only been board gaming since August and I love Wingspan and Wyrmspan. Earth is also great fun, and I’m sure I will love Finspan, can’t wait to hear more about it, with the lead up to release. Becoming a champion this week, to add some more love and support for you guys! Have fun with the release of Finspan! 🐠 🐟 🐉 🦅 🦢
So, in finspan, are you able to play fish wherever you want on the board based on that fishes requirements? In other words, can I play a fish at the bottom of a dive site before placing one at the start of it?
Is this list an example how a designer goes about creating a game while looking at other games for inspiration and either directly using mechanisms or lifting just a pinch?
@@jameystegmaierno, it is a very simple card game with beautiful art of aquarium fish. There is a grid of cards that each player cuts to make sections. Once each player cuts the grid, each player chooses one of the sections. You gain points by collecting groups of fish. Each species has different rules to gain points. It is a very fast, lightweight game.
Biggest and most impossible question, what’s your favorite Xspan version? It’s like choosing your favorite child 😈 haha You can do multiple “favorites” categories like in Mario Party just to be nice.

Great video! Such a unique game in its own right and also some great improvements to the wingspan formula and design :) we can't wait!
Ark Nova Marine Worlds was the closest we had to Finspan before Finspan was announced!

I can se the comparison! I’d like to try Reforest sometime.

Absolutely, we’ve started to talk with Monster Couch about Finspan. It’ll be a while before they have the bandwidth to work on it, though.

Welcome to modern hobby gaming! Thanks for being a Champion. :)
Wingspan: right to left. Wyrmspan: left to right. Finspan: top to bottom. What theme would go from bottom to top? Spacespan? Alienspan? Rocketspan?
An even heavier version than Wrymspan and Dinosaurs 🤤
Or stretch your Japanese muscles and reach out to Pokémon and do that.
I’m aware of the fan made one(s) on BGG.
We reached out the Pokemon Company a while ago and they said no.
@@jameystegmaier That's interesting. Would have been awesome. But I guess they have there big license partners already

That's correct!

I do often research other games while designing.
Have you seen 10 gallon tank?
I haven't! Is that a documentary?

Oh, I can't pick favorites in that way. I can say that right now I'm most excited to play Finspan because it's shiny and new. :)
