Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
  • easy to teach and quick to play
  • fits well into lighter-weight card-drafting games
Cons
  • depth may be limited for some players
  • not as rich as heavier drafting titles like Forest Shuffle or Six N
Thematic elements
  • bird collection with scoring thresholds
  • abstract feathered birds drafting
  • abstract puzzle-like drafting
Comparison games
  • Trailblazers
  • Colorado
  • Forest Shuffle
  • Six N
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Card Drafting — Draft birds from a front row by placing a marker and taking behind-cards.
  • Compound Scoring — End-game scoring is sensitive to how many of each bird you hold.
  • scoring by collect-your-birds thresholds — End-game scoring is sensitive to how many of each bird you hold.

Quotes (from this video)
  • the biggest downside for me for Finsspan was the ratio between the complexity of this game versus the time length
  • I would rather play Wingspan in a relatively quickly pace with gamers who knew Wingspan as well rather than play this game for 45 to 60 minutes
  • This game is somewhat simple to teach but it does offer a little bit of complexity
  • Visually, I think this game plays a lot like Bonsai
  • Hey, that's My Fish—catchy title for my daughter as well
