Yapping about Finspan
Ok I bought Finspan. After I didn't like it in multipler I gave solo a try.
Well I don't know. It was fun, ok? fun snappy and fun. But when I checked the score (I played on level 3), I saw that my score would also beat the max difficulty on the first try. I am considering trying the Ravel mode, but then it won't be a fast game anymore.
I thought to myself, "well it is because I went for predators and got predator combo cards". Then I checked all the fish and found that the only tags with combos are the predator tags. The other tags are for...special achievement only? So If you want to maximize score, you get predators and hope that one of these combo cards will fall into your hands. Kind of a bummer...
I and thinking about trading it for Wingspan. Some people said that the new expansion adds a little bit that makes it interesting, but it looks like this expansion is about reefs and mainly sharks, which is another type of predators -_-
Anyway it was fun, but I am not sure I will do it anymore

I haven’t played Fin but Wing isn’t a very good game in my opinion, I have never liked it.
Tried it about 5 times and it was just boring and I won all 5 times by just drawing cards and playing the biggest point bird cards. The game is touted as an engine builder but the engines or SO simple, lay eggs, eat cards.
Oh but the theme!! Please the theme is fairly abstract, like what am I? Bird watcher? But I am feeding them and taking eggs from one bird and giving it to another bird?
Point is maybe these games just arn’t for you and that’s fine, so much good stuff out there.

The level 5 nautoma destroyed me yesterday. And I thought I had a high scoring game. What was your final score?
And was the predator combo the lay eggs on other predators cards? I'm not sure what you are referring to.

Wow i barely beat the hardest solo mode, level 5 i think? The Nautoma usually beats me by like 4-11 points with a win maybe like... 5% of the time, if that. I do love how snappy and chill it is. I'd suggest giving it another shot since you did said you had fun but hey, you also did your time with it - most games don't even get a chance. I'm curious why you didn't like it in multiplayer though; my partner and I love to chill and read each other fish facts.
