Watch “I Played Finspan Solo and This Happened,” a board game review for Finspan from Boardgaymergirl on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Boardgaymergirl on YouTube:
Hello there and welcome to another solo playthrough video on the Boardgaymergirl channel! If you are new here, my name is Natalie and I like to play games primarily solo which may or may not include some silly antics. Today I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of Finspan from Stonemaier Games which is the final entry (for now) in the "Spanverse" trilogy of board games.
So if you'd like to laugh at me for an hour as I try to pronounce fish names, end up making random pop culture references, and in general learn to play Finspan solo with me, pull up a chair and let's get to the table!
*A review copy of the board game was provided by the publisher. *

About Finspan, from BoardGameGeek:
You are a marine researcher seeking to find and observe an array of aquatic life in the colorful Sunlight Zone, ghostly Twilight Zone, and pitch-black Midnight Zone of the world's seas and oceans. In Finspan, the fish you discover over four weeks will generate a series of benefits as you dive deeper into the ocean.
Each dive site specializes in a key aspect of expanding your research:
Grow your collection of fish.
Discover freshly laid eggs.
Hatch eggs into young and consolidate young to form schools.
The winner is the player with the most points gained from fish, eggs, young, schools, and achievements.
