Finspan, Snow, Memorable Games, and More! (January 8 2025 Livecast)

At Mark, 46:08 For me, Wingspan has always been about nurturing a deep appreciation for birds and nature more broadly. Finspan will likely do more or less the same for me, just underwater. I think that this appreciation for animals is a solid first step in raising awareness for environmental impacts of human behavior.

@Jamie Coelacanth (see-luh-canth). If you are certain age (my age) it was huge back in elementary school, as it was discovered to still be alive off the coast of Madagascar. It's a "living fossil", a fish that has remained virtually the same for millions of years. It's a lobed fish, with fleshy fins instead of rays like most modern fish. Amazing! WTB in Finspan! :D

Pacific islander who loves fish 🐟 super excited for this!

[@MaxwellSchmalzried]

We need a coelacanth!

[@jasonmosley6157]

Definitely excited for this one. I think it’ll be great for family game night with new gamers and younger kids. We love Wingspan but getting new people into can be a challenge. Normally the art work still wins them over even if they don’t fully understand the game.

So cool. I love Wyrmspan so much and recently I taught Wingspan and was reminded why I like it so much, as well. I’m fully on board for Finspan. My only question is: Hobbitspan? :)

[@jenniferkuhn4054]

Sounds exciting! If you haven't already you should take a look at the book Remarkably Bright Creatures ....chapters written from viewpoint of a pacific Octopus

[@jameystegmaier]

I just finished reading it last week--it's amazing! I also recommend the documentary My Octopus Teacher.

There goes my plan to design a game called bird span involving designing bridges for birds to sit on or nest in

[@Gmoney14]

are there ways to recover fish cards from other player's discard piles? what kind of player interaction is there?

[@jameystegmaier]

This is a low-interaction game, with the primary form being positive interaction through cards/abilities that benefit all players. You cannot steal cards from other players--that's not in the spirit of the World of Wingspan.
