Key systems that shape the decisions players make.

Read the full game description

Dive through the sunlight, twilight, and midnight zones of your personal ocean, playing fish where their habitat and depth requirements fit. Fish trigger immediate and end-game powers, while eggs hatch into young and groups of young become valuable schools. With only six dives each week and shared achievements changing the scoring incentives, Finspan keeps the satisfying card-combo arc of the Wingspan family in a faster, more approachable form.
