FINSPAN Live Play - See How it Actually Plays!

Mhm. Hello everyone. Emily is with me here today to play Fin Span. We've played it recently and did a just played, so go check that out if you want. But today we thought we'd play an entire game on camera so that everyone could watch, make up your own minds is Fin Span for you. Uh you know, it obviously comes from the long line of Wing Span, Worm Span, now Fin Span.

Uh interestingly enough, and I think it's safe to say we agree anyway that this feels like the most accessible of the three games. Yes. Even more so than Wing Span. Um obviously has the fish theme. Uh also by the way, this is a sponsored stream today. Thank you very much for Stonemaier to sponsor the stream.

And thank you if you are here coming to watch this after Jamie's stream today. Uh-huh. Thanks for showing up. Hello. Welcome. And please come back in future weeks even when Jamie doesn't plug our live stream. Uh even if we're not playing a Stonemaier game. There you go. So like I said, we are playing Fin Span today.

We've got it all set up and ready to go. Emily and I have played it before. Did you win or did you win or did win or did I win? Uh well, I think the scores would say I won yes last time. scores usually are what we reference when we decide that. Let's show you the game. All right, we've got it set up right here, nice and compact on the table.

Um, over here we have three fish from the deck and two starter fish as Emily has right here. Uh, it looks like Emily's decided that she's going to go first. We didn't randomly do that. That's how Emily behaves when she's on the live stream. behavior. Fish Oh, boy. You know what though? I don't I take that old boy back.

Bring the fish puns. Have we seen any fish puns yet? I saw the the game does seem alluring. I like that. I used that in our thumbnail for our just played. Yeah. What can I say? I got dad jokes. Um, but yeah, we have it set up here. One thing different than when we played it for our just played is we're using side B of the scoreboard here, which has some random scoring elements that I haven't even familiarized myself with.

let's tell you, David. So, the first week, so we're going to go through four weeks of playing this game. Each week we're going to have six of our divers and we can either put them out to discover a fish or we can have them go down a column, dive all the way down and activate that entire column. You'll see us do it in a second.

But, after we've done all of our divers, so all six each week, we are going to look at the week bonus and get points for week one consumed fish. So, that's fish that have eaten other fish. They like do that by being a larger fish who's going to consume a smaller fish. Um, whoever has the most is going to get a three-point bonus.

Plus, each of them are worth two points, so good thing to go for. Week two is going to be medium fish. So, at the bottom corner of each of the cards, it shows what type of what size fish they are. two of those right now. What about you? All of mine are small fish. All of mine are small fish. I'm fine with this then.

David has uh two small and then two medium and a large one. So, he's got a lot more options right now than I do. Again, those are going to be two points at the end of week two and whoever of us has the most will get the three extra additional points. Um and then week three we're going to look for young fish.

So we start with one young fish on our board already and two eggs. Um young fish are going to come from these eggs that can be put on fish that are on our board. Um and then when they hatch they just flip over and become young little fish. And then they move all around. There's a cool mechanic here where you move the young fish around and when they gather together in a group of three you create a school of fish which are a little more complicated to maneuver around.

Yes. Um but they're also worth more points at the end of the game. So you'll see us do that throughout the game as well. And then week four we're just going to do any that have yellow effects like that top one that David has um where it might give you points for certain conditions or it might allow you to do something at the very end of the game.

We'll do our final scoring which is shown here where eggs are going to be a point, fish young fish are going to be a point, um schools are going to be six points, and then we're going to have points on each of the fish that we've played as well as one point for each consumed fish. So pretty streamlined.

consumed fish, just to clarify, those are the fish that will be under other fish, right? Yes. So we can require this icon or anything like that. it doesn't. So and we start with three fish uh started as a forage on our board already. So we can consume those fish right away. itty-bitty little fish. They're tiny fish.

Um in fact I don't think I have any fish smaller than any of those. This one's 3 cm, 3 cm, and 9 cm. one smaller. I have the smooth cheek lancer fish. He's smaller than the glasshead grenadier. But he can't even go in this twilight zone anyway. So one of the things about placement for fish is going to be you're going to look at if there's a color associated with the column it can go in, either the blue, purple, or green dive sites.

And if it can go in the sunlight, twilight, um or midnight midnight different areas of the actual ocean itself. Yeah, there are some guidelines for how we have to place fish. But you'll see all that in a second. I do want to point this out before we start. Uh, let us know in the comments if you know this information.

I don't know if anyone from Stonemaier's out there. But, this clown anemone fish Uh-huh. uh, the game end scoring is six points if there's two exactly two young fish on this. Uh-huh. Are we looking at Marlin here from Finding Nemo? Yeah. I think so. I think so. He's worried about his family. That's very cool.

If If that's the case. If that's the case. I can't imagine you could design and develop this game without I thought the same thing. in some Finding Nemo references. All right. So, I'm going to get us started just right off the bat. Um, okay. So, first things first, I think I'm going to discover a fish.

That's the first thing I'm going to do. So, I'm going to use my diver up there and I can choose one of my five. Nice thing about this too is that there's open hands. Um, so I can see what David has. David can see what I have. Um, and I'm going to choose to use one that allows me to start consuming fish.

Um, so I'm going to do the Rock Mover Wrasse. Um, he needs two other cards to go to my discard. Um, so I'm going to choose this one and this one. And they're going to go to my discard. My discard is also available information. Um, and so you can just put it going the opposite direction. What's cool about this is there going to be times where you can actually get things from your discard back to your open hand.

of times, honestly. You can get cards cycled back and forth, uh, which is big part of the strategy, in my opinion. which is nice too cuz when you're using cards to pay for it, but you're like, "But I might get it back." So, no big deal. Um, so I used those two cards to pay for it and I'm actually going to choose to consume this guy, um, the Catalina Bobby.

Um, he has an egg on him, so the egg just moves to this guy. And because he's 30 cm opposed to his 1 cm, he can do that. And I have my first consumed fish. Nice. I'm also happy because he has an if activated, he's going to allow me to consume some more fish. So, I'm I'm looking forward to that in the future.

Ah, I might just copy you cuz that is a along the lines of what I was thinking on doing. And because I pointed them out, uh got some when played. Yeah, that's not Oh, this is an interesting one. I have to Oh, you're right. I do have to play this fish in the blue column. Good good call out. Ah. Um so, because I have to do that, I'm going to try Can I do the other one?

No, he's also blue column. All right, so not on here, but we're going to do it uh let's do it in the bottom spot here. Yeah, thanks for for the call out. pointing that out. That particular thing is the hardest thing I think to keep track of is like cuz you get so you're like, "Oh, I want to play this.

I want to play this." And it's easy to overlook that little color border on the side. Um I was looking at this and just to clarify, it says when played, put an egg on every one of these. Is that just eggs at the top? it is. Mhm. Ah. But they're going to need to be on fish, so Oh, that's right. That's right.

They have to go on fish. That's the only thing that has to go on fish. I'm going to go ahead and get the clown anemone fish. By the way, can give me props in the comments for pronouncing that correctly. Anemone anemone. Can twist your tongue up quite a bit. Um this can be played anywhere, so I am going to play it right here.

Uh You took my idea and did it right. I I took your idea and did it right. Any of the tokens that were on the space just go up like Emily said. though. You're moving it. Oh, this guy's on it. I I'm sorry. I was trying to cheat. Some fishy business. Oh my gosh. I'm going to say it all the time now. Oh my gosh.

I have to pay two other cards. I am going to play this barrel fish. You're going to pay it. Pay that barrel fish and pay this. Nice. Remember, you get them back, so don't worry. It's not too too big of a thing. what? I changed my mind. I'm going to play it this one. Uh so, that's that. It doesn't have a win plated ability, but that's my old uh He's happy about it.

And you do have a consumed fish now, so you are winning the week one. I am for now. Uh I'm going to do Oh, I guess I should play one of my divers. Yes, so that you did it. Uh I'm going to go diving. So, now that I actually put it in the blue column, I'm switching it up a little bit. Oh. Now that I have something in here, I look at this first sunlight phase and see do I have any fish in here?

I do. Yay! That means I'm going to get a fish. So, I will take one from the top of the deck. These are my discards, so I'm going to make sure they're sideways. Got this new guy out. Ah, he's a medium. That's good. I was looking for a medium. Uh and then the diver's going to keep going down. When he gets to here, he says his if activated.

So, this guy can consume someone who's smaller. So, he's 30. I'm looking for anything smaller. I think I'm going to take the blue lantern fish? know. I think I'm actually going to trap angler? I think I am going to take the wolf trap angler. looks spiny. He's hard to swallow. That's okay. By the way, James said, "This seems like a friendly game." Which I was about to respond to, but then the finish He finished it saying, "Which is good because he's a pacifist." That's funny.

I love it. All right, I keep diving. I have nothing in here, so this does not activate. I keep diving. I have something already pre-printed here, so I get another one. Nice, nice. Um Atlantic wolffish. I don't know about him yet, but we'll see. And then we'll go all the way to the bottom. The first time my diver comes here, I get to do this once a week bonus, which is going to be to take one card from my discard and put it back into my hand.

So, this one was not gone for very long. I'm going to take back the smooth No, I'm going to take back the sargassum fish. He's a predator, and he has camouflage. Mhm. Mhm mhm mhm. And that was me. That was you, huh? Yes. I am going to play another fish. No longer copying me, huh? No longer copying you.

But I'm going to play this guy right here. Okay. Um and that is going to cost me an egg. So, I'm going to use this egg. Sure. To pay for it. Um and that's it because it has an if activated ability. Cool. So, maybe a dive coming up in your future? Perhaps. All right. since I have nothing else to pay for this guy.

The diamond stingray doesn't cost much, but he gets three cards out of my discard. I only have two. So, it feels a little like a bit of a fail for me to use it just to get two back. Yeah. Yeah. All right, I'm going to also play a fish. I'm going to play this blue lantern fish. Um and he can go somewhere in the middle.

He is going to go on top of the showy bristlemouth. Um so, that way Stop eating fish. He's eating fish. This guy's only three and this guy's 13. Stop eating fish. I have to get rid of two of these guys, um but hopefully not for long. Um and when played, I get four more. So, this is The hard thing about this for me is that like I don't like getting rid of fish.

No, I know. I was just about to comment. Any game where you get a bunch of cards uh Emily well, all of us are, but Emily in particular savors all those cards and doesn't want She wants to play them all. I will say this game paces the discarding such that it's easier to say goodbye. It is. It's still hard on my heart.

My heart My heart has a hard time releasing these fish. A fish lover. Catch and release. Um all right. Uh I am going to dive. So, I'm going to dive right here. Uh there is a fish here, so I get a card. I'm swimming in cards. I love that. Oh, you are swimming in cards. I go down here. I don't have a fish here, so I don't get that one.

Oh, I'm sorry. I missed this one. Uh, activate that. All players get to get a card. Yay! And that's that all players sign. I love that. David played some of those last game, too, and I didn't play any. So do anything cuz I don't have a fish here. This one does because I have a fish here, so I get another card.

Now, I'm swimming, not quite as deeply in fish. Um, and then I go down here, as well, and I get to pull a card back, and I am going to pull this card back right here, the European flounder. Nice. Move my cards down. Yeah, the cards you you do start to get quite a few cards. Um And when we said it was more accessible, I mean, that's part of the reason is because it's pretty generous game.

You don't you don't feel as like constrained as like, "Oh, I don't have anything that I need." You can generally get some things going. You can almost always play a card. And if you can't play a card, you can inev- inevitably go out here and get a bunch of stuff. Yeah. All right. I am going to I have only one medium fish.

I don't really want to play him right now. Daniel says that you're being shellfish. I am. Uh, I'm going to MO. One of the most selfish people I've ever met. I'm kidding. I'm actually going to dive on the purple because I'm trying to set up for something here. Um, so this first spot, I'm not going to get anything cuz I don't have a fish there.

The second spot, I am going to get an egg. An egg on a fish. On a fish. The third spot, again, not going to get anything, but I am going to get the weekly bonus of another egg. Yeah, and I will say, in this first round, you will take a turn where you dive and get just a couple things. Or if you're Emily, you did.

Well, I mean, same same here. I remember it happened in my our first play, too. Um but as the game gets going, obviously, you're going to get a lot more rewards when you do that. It is back to me, and I've been vamping, so I need to actually take a look at all the things. Ooh. Ooh. I think Oh, no. Don't forget you want consumed fish this time.

don't remind me. We have three more turns. All right. I mean, I have two more, so. Two more. I have three. Um Ugh. Well, let's see. Can I play another card? Oh, that will that will work. I'm going to get another fish into action. Okay, let's go. Hopefully, I don't run out of actions. Uh I'm going to play this one.

It has to go in the twilight area. It's going to cost me two cards. Uh and I'm going to play it right there. Nice. Uh the two cards I'm going part. Which two cards though? These two cards I'm going to get rid of this guy. Yeah. Um and um I think this guy for now. Okay. And it just has a one activated ability, so I just got that fish in play.

I did consume another fish. consume another fish. Just saying. And you were saying we get these points plus whoever has the most gets gets three more, yeah. So, I hear you, David. remember doing that in our first game, did we? this On the A side, it's friendlier, so. Oh, the A side doesn't have that.

I see. Similar to how like in Wingspan, you can play like the competitive side or the just straight points side. Um this has a similar module. Always Emily, trying to be competitive. I'm going to find a fish. I'm finding this Atlantic wolffish. Um he's a big predator. Um so, he's huge, and I'm actually going to put him here.

Um, so he is going to consume this little guy. His 1 cm little tiny Catalina Bobby is going to be eaten by this huge I think that fish just accidentally swam into his mouth. Like he was just he did He's just doing his own thing. Emily called him a predator. I think he was just minding his own business.

Just swimming along with he he with his mouth open, granted, but that fish just kind of went in. Um, so he's going to need two eggs, uh, which is why I took that last action to get some eggs. Um, and he's going to need to get me to get rid of one of my other cards. I'm going to get rid of I think this manta uh, no, I'm going to get rid of this black cardinal fish.

Um, because I don't have any more I won't have some more eggs left. And then he has he's going to be in the green column. When he's activated, he'll be able to hatch one of the eggs. I do have a couple left, so that's where I'm going with that. All right. Well, then. Well, then. Um, I don't know that I like what I'm about to do.

That's a good start. Strong strong start. I think I'm a going to do it. Um, I'm going to play another fish. Okay. I'm going to play the diamond stingray right there. Cool. Uh, that's going to cost me an egg. Sorry. Uh, Nemo. Not Nemo. What's Marlin? Marlin was his dad. Well, I mean, it is Nemo that you get rid of.

I was a I was a bit of a Marlin. Um, so uh, yeah, that just it says when played though, I get to uh, take three cards out of here. I just so happen to have three cards in there. So I get my entire discard back. Then, I get to move Ooh, our first fish movement. of fish. I'm going to go ahead since I need fish on here, I'm just going to move them over to there right now.

can go as as as they want in a straight line, so you you just moved one over, but you could have moved him like all the way down here, all the way over there. definitely did not want to move them all the way over. to move him He likes the way deep down there. Pretty sure. Um okay. And so, with my final diver for this first week, I think I have to play a card.

So, I'm going to I'm going to get some more fish going here. Um I want to pay with I think my giant devil ray. Um he's just huge. Um he can be played anywhere. He can be played in any of the zones, any of the things. So, I do want him to cover something up. I'm going to have him cover up this guy. Dang it, Emily.

And that'll get rid of uh an egg, a young fish, and another one of my cards. Emily with her good play. There's no way I can catch up to you on consumed fish now. And then this gives me two young fish. The young fish don't have to be on um a fish. So, I can play them where I want. Eventually, I want them to be together in a school.

So, I think I'm going to try to play them maybe like here at an intersection where there are other cards. So, eventually, when this becomes a fish, he can just team up with them and become a school. All right. Is it my turn again? It is your turn again. Okay, I've given up on those points. Um although I guess I could still grab two points if I played one here.

Yeah. I'm just giving up on the three. Hmm. Hmm. Or you could think about week two is going to be those medium fish. And you do have one of I know that, too. So, that's actually what I'm going to do. I'm going to do some long-term planning. I'm going to have to be good. I'm going to have to go diving next time for sure.

So, I'm going to put out yet another fish. You put out five fish this time. That's kind of crazy. out the European flounder right there. Yeah. Uh it's going to cost me two cards. Um I am going to put these two cards Those cards have been like back in your discard, back in your hand, back in your discard.

They don't know what they're doing. Um this one has a when played I get to put an egg on any fish in that row. So I'm going to put an egg there. An egg there. An egg there. See? Dang. got the most out of that. Better than diving here and I got another fish play. So not better because you would have gotten one, two, and the weekly bonus.

But I still got three. Yeah, I know. So Okay, it was the same. But it was great. It was like look at the long-term no, no, don't patronize me now. THAT IS THE END OF THE ROUND. YES, it is. So week one is done and then we are going to look at consumed fish. Um so I have one, two, three, four consumed fish.

have four. I have one, two. I need a pen unless you want me to just remember in my head. Oh, yeah, we'll have to get we'll have to get a pen. Um I'll get that in a second. You'll have to remind Oh, you know what? We'll save it on our Technology, I don't know about that. Seems a little fishy. I'm just going to keep saying that.

Don't. Please don't. Okay. Emily, you have how many points? I have 4 * 2 is 8 + 3 is 11. Oh boy. Strong start. David, we might take a break so that I can get a pen. And I have 1 2 * 2 which is 4. This is not a good start. This is not a good start at all. Uh okay. That's the scoring for this round? Yes, it is.

Uh so then we'll finish the end of the week. Uh so we scored our points. Uh the player who received the most got three. We retrieve all of our divers. Divers come on back. And then we rotate the first player token. So we give it to go first this time. You are going first this time. All right. Unlike again the other games, this is where we keep six actions.

So, we're not going to get more actions, but we're not going to get less actions. Again, just still six divers. is the Goldilocks of the span games in that it's just right. You get all the actions, no more, no less. Just six each time. Um all right. Well, then. a good start if you're an Emily. Thanks, Daniel.

If you're an Emily. I want to be an Emily sometimes. Or is it David? Tip the scales. I love that, Nicole. Okay. Uh I feel like I'm going to have to dive here because I have nothing to spend on cards. That's fair. Um and I think uh each fish can only have one egg, correct? Correct. Yeah. Mhm. So, I'm going to dive right here.

Let's go. I get a card cuz I have a fish there. Ooh, striped marlin. That is a big guy, 420 cm. Dang. Lots of people swimming into his mouth uh if they can avoid this the sword. Um then I activate this. All players, you're welcome. I'm so welcome. Oh, perfect, David. I love it. Skip this, do this. I get another card.

And then down here I get to take a card out of here. And I think I think I'm going to take this guy back, the barreleye. Like I said, he just keeps going swimming back and forth and back and forth. He's just like, "Do I want the bait? Do I not want the bait?" Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Well, David, you very much helped me because you gave me the stoplight loose jaw.

Um and he's perfect because I'm going to dive. Great. Thanks for stopping by, James. Good to see you. Um and I got a card for that. Which is would not have been what I needed, this long swordfish. Um and then when I get to the rock mover, I get to consume something if I have something smaller than the 30 cm, which is what you gave to me.

So, he is going to get consumed. That means he'll be a point at the end of the game, even though we're past that week one objective, um still good for me. Still good. This part, I don't have any actual fish in so does not activate. This part, I do have my giant devil ray. Um so, I'm going another card.

Ooh, that's pretty. The mahi-mahi. Uh and then at the end of the week, I'm going to get to take something from my or at the end of this dive, I take something from my discard, put it back into my hand. So, while I am choosing that, David, you can go ahead and start thinking about your turn. Can I? You may.

Can I Can I Can I go ahead and start if I've been thinking about my turn? Uh I am going to play a fish. Ooh, playing a fish. Um this is going to be a kind of a costly fish, but I'm going to do it anyway. This guy has to be played in purple, so I'm going to play him right here. For a card. Um I'm going to say goodbye to the What?

the marlin. He was my favorite. Um and two eggs, which seems costly, but the guy's going to give me two eggs every time I activate and which which isn't too bad. So, there you go. Not too bad. All right, I'm also going to play a fish. I will play this great northern tilefish. What? Peter said, "Don't have a carp turn, David." And I don't think that I don't think that was dyslexia in in the spelling.

Uh I'm going to get rid of this guy and this guy. And an egg. Uh one more egg gone. And now when he's activated I'll be able to hatch eggs if I ever had any, which I don't If you ever had any. Speaking of eggs, I'm going to dive. I'm going to dive right here. If I have a fish here, I get an egg. All right, fair.

Uh then this guy, if activated Two more eggs. eggs. So I've got my eggs back. Um then down here if I have a fish, I get an egg. Um and then this, all players get a card. Yay. I like my middle column quite a bit. I mean I'm good with it, too. And then I go down here and get the bonus egg. I mean I'm pretty good on eggs.

In fact, I'm I'm perfectly good on eggs. I have all the eggs I can possibly take. Right now. I'm going to play a fish because you just gave me the opportunity. Um so this silver light fish is going to like to be here in the twilight zone. Um Twilight zone. Which is where he's going to live right here and he's going to cost my last two fish.

So I have nothing in my hand right now, just everything in my discard. And then when he's activated he'll be able to hatch some eggs, but nothing for now. Nothing for now. Okay. Oh, and when he's activated it will be an everybody, so you're welcome in advance. I like that. I mean you I've given you plenty so far.

I've got two everybody cards. Um it just so happens with all these eggs, I have all sorts of fish that cost eggs. Um Oh. So I am going to get this guy played. Yeah, I'm going to get this guy I'm going to play this fish here, the barreleye. Uh I'm going to play it right He finally gets to come in. here.

Yes, exactly. He's been fishing for of your starters. He's found his home. Uh that cost me two eggs, so I'm going to spend two Oh, not off the clownfish, though. You know what? So, it matters where you're taking them off mainly because then you're probably soon going to hatch them, and then once they hatch, you want to put all the fish together, right?

you randomly just take eggs off all over the place, then your fish then they hatch are all over the place. each other, yeah. Um So, yeah, and that's it. Uh he's a win activated, so I'm getting a couple decent columns. There. All right, I'm going to go diving. I'm going diving in my purple column. I have nothing in the top part, so that is a miss.

Uh but I do have a guy here, so he's going to get an egg. And then I have a guy here who's going to get an egg. And then the light fish is going to allow all players um to hatch an egg. All right, I'm going to hatch this guy. And then my end of week is to get one more egg. So, we're going to go right here.

All right, all right. Um I think I still might play a fish. But where is the question? Where, he says. I need that one. Oh, no, no. Really, I have to This whale shark takes a school. A whole school, dang. has to It has a big open mouth. 12 points, so that is huge. is that is not small, for sure. Um I think I'm going to play the European sturgeon, but I just Yeah, I'm going to play the European sturgeon, so I'm going to play this.

Okay. It's going to cost me Oof, I don't like it. Things do come with a cost, David. I'm so sorry to let you know that. I'm going to play it here. And it cost me two eggs. Needs to be in blue. Oh, I'm sorry. Not going to let you make the same mistake. I'm going to play it right. I'll play it right here for Cool.

no particular reason. It's going to cost me two eggs. Yes. Um and a fish. So, I'm just going to get rid of that fish there. The young. Uh it's a nine-pointer. That's big, actually. That's pretty it's not not bad. It's not bad. And it's another card that will help activate getting fish. I like to kind of diversify with my powers so that I can get some card draw in other columns and some egg hatching in others.

Um well, I have no fish right now to play. So, I will not be playing them. It looks like I'll be diving. Um and if I dive in my green column, which I haven't gone to yet, I'll be able to hatch some eggs, but I don't even have enough eggs to really make use of all of it. Um so, I think I'm actually going to just dive again in blue.

Um so, that I can get some more cards back. And I'm going to get one card. When I activate, I could consume a fish, but I have nothing less than 30 cm because I have very few fish. Uh and then I'm going to get another card. And then when I get to the bottom, I don't get this bonus again. So, that was it.

That was my turn. Just these two. Is it my last little turn? It is your last little turn. Medium fish, huh? Mhm. I don't think I How many do I have? One, two, three. How many do you have? What What am I looking for? Medium fish? you I think I have one. Okay. I'm good with that. I'm I'm good with that.

Um I am going to probably dive. Dive. And I think Yeah, I think I like diving here. Although, I'm not going to get the bonus egg. That's what's hard is that you're not going to get the bonus again, but you We so many things happening. I don't a lot of fit eggs to hatch. So I can either draw up and in which case I'm really only drawing a couple.

I'm actually going to dive here again. Okay. So I get an egg. You want more eggs? I get two more eggs. I got to say, I don't mind this activation. Yeah. Um I have an egg on there, right? With the fish. Um because you're about to give me something, too. I get an egg here. And and that's it. No. Oh, I'm sorry.

Yes. Don't take away my cards, David. that card. We all get a card. It's easy to overlook the activation cards for me. Not for me. Ooh. I have a card left. um just like Wingspan and probably more than Wormspan, to be honest, I love looking at these like natural wildlife cards, you know. It has It has a Well, do they have a nostalgic place in my heart.

I was not going to have a big turn, but now you've given me options. Stop telling me that I've just set you up for big turns. I have discovered this new fish, thank you, David, which is the pilot fish, and he can go anywhere in the top or the middle. He's going to go right here, and he just cost me but one egg.

But one. And then when played, I get four of my fish back from my discard. That's big. You have a giant discard pile. He was a medium fish, so that's worth another something to me. All right, so I'm going to pick four from here. I think I will Ooh, I don't know, Danielle. Is it optional to activate cards?

Uh yeah. It is. Oh, okay. So I could deny you a card. Um but for the all played, even if you don't take it, everyone can still do it. You are not stopping other people from doing it. Yes. And I think that's the way it is in Wingspan, too, isn't it? Uh I don't remember well enough, but I do know that they said that in this one.

But yeah, if I didn't do it, she could still do it. So, I You can't deny. Can't deny. like, for some reason, I remember that being the rule in Wingspan, too, but I could be wrong. Um I'm going to take this one and this one. All right. All four. Too many options for Emily. That's the end of the round.

That's the end of week two. We are halfway through already, David. How are you feeling about your fish? Hm. About my fish, I'm feeling fantastic. About my score? Fantastic? Fantastic. I didn't say that, but I'll let it I'll allow it. Uh so, medium fish is what we're scoring. Yes. I've got one, two, three.

Wow. Tier two. Two. Yep. So, you'll get 3 * 2 is 6, plus the extra three for being the most, which is nine. Nine, so and you I will get 2 * 2 is 4. All right. The scores have evened up a little. It is currently 15 to 13. Ooh. The running total. We'll see. All right. And then we're going to move this to week three.

Um we are going to get our divers back. Do do do do do. Do do do do do. And you. back to me. Um And once again, we have six divers for week three. Make the most of it. Okay, so I have a bunch of fish back, so I'm probably going to play one of those. This one wants young fish. Um I think I'm going to do play a fish.

I'm going to play this uh smooth cheek lantern fish. He was one of my starter cards. Um Wow. Yeah, I know, right? Uh and I'm going to play him in the area I don't have a fish yet, which is here. Um and these young fish just come right on top of him. Uh I'm going to He's going to cost two cards to get rid of.

Uh I'm going to get rid of this one and this one. And then when I play him, I get two more eggs. So, who doesn't have eggs? You don't have eggs. You don't have eggs. You You sounds like you're the Oprah of eggs right now. Eggs. You get an egg. You get an egg. Everybody gets an And two more fish cards.

All right. That's the end for me. That is the end for you. We're looking for youngs right now. Mhm. I don't mind that at all. Remember too that if three youngs come together, they automatically make a school. So, you might not want to make schools at this very moment because you get more points for them to be individuals.

Exactly. Although, I want to get this whale shark played, but maybe no such luck. Um ha I am going I'm going to go fish for some cards. Go fish. So, I'm going to do this. This doesn't feel like the greatest You know, do I have another Do I have another that I can play? I don't. I need a school. I'm going to go right here.

Uh-huh. Uh I'll get a card. Yes. Cuz I got a fish there. Uh then all players get a card. Whee. Ooh, snipe eel. And then I get this card or one of these cards. Let's see here. Ooh, hello. I'll take you back. Uh nothing. Something. I get a card. You get a card. Oof. You're getting lots of cards. my bonus is I get this guy back.

So Wow. I got I How many do you have right now? Eight Eight different fish? there a limit? There's not a limit, but you're uh You're making me want to double check. Um okay, so I'm going to go I'm going to play that new one that you just gave me, um which is the snipe eel. It's going to take two cards.

Connor, I don't think it's that kind of game. You can't um create your a situation where your opponent divers drown. No. No. This is a friendly game. to think about that either, so. Right. Uh I'm going to play him here, the snipe eel. Um and then I'm going to pay two cards. So let's do this card and this card.

I'm basically getting rid of all the cards that cost me young fish. Just to remind myself not to use them this round. Okay, I feel like I should play some fish now because I have a hundred of them. That's a lot of them. I mean not quite a hundred, but a lot. Let's just say a lot. Um My my question is do I go with the pudgy cusk eel?

Ooh. Yeah, I like the name. Or the scaleless black dragonfish. I like the dragonfish. Game end egg on all of those. Hmm, that's not bad. Not bad at all. You've got a lot with the end game stuff, so any of those yellow abilities are end game. Um I really haven't got many at all. Yeah, well a lot of I've got scoring on one, but all these just do things.

Yeah, which is still nice because it happens at the very end. Uh I got to make sure I have the right uh icons here on this. I'm going to play the pudgy cusk eel. Uh and I'm going to play him down here. He's much bigger than the glass head grenadier. Nice. Or grenadier? What do you think? Grenadier, yeah.

Maybe. That's going to cost me a card. I'm going to just since it's easy, I'm going to put the striped marlin up here. Um and two eggs. So I'm going to spend these two eggs Goodbye. to get him played. Okay. Oh, yeah. And now he's down there? And now he's down there. Cool. I am going to go diving. So, we are diving in this middle column.

I'm going to get some eggs. All right. So, first I'm going to get one egg. Then, he does nothing. Agreed, Daniel. Eight, a hundred, whatever. Tomato, tomato. Uh I get another egg. And then all players are going to get to hatch an egg. Ooh, Nicole, I like where your head's at. She predicts that David will pull a bait and switch.

I don't know if she was just trying to get the pun out there. She may have just been saying that to get the pun and included, but I take the sentiment uh nonetheless. David, my bioluminescent silverlight fish is shining a light for you as well and saying that you can hatch one of your eggs. Marlin found Nemo.

Aw, cute. But, you don't want a third one right now because then it'll be a school. And then you won't get the points for the young. Well, they have to meet though, right? I'm Yeah, they have to Yeah, I'm just not going to have a fish swim towards towards them. They're No, not in this part of the sea.

They're in their own anemone. All right. That's my turn. That's your turn, huh? Oh, I feel like I can still play fish. Um Probably. You've got quite a few. This would be oof. I don't know what that I will say what feels different to about this from the other games is that each turn it does kind of feel like you have options.

Like you You can always be like, "Okay, I could do this or this." The only time I didn't was when I had literally no fish cards, but even then I could have probably still dove in the other places and there's always this dive to get more cards. So, you're never really super stuck. I am going to play another fish.

I'm going to get the scaleless black dragonfish into play um right here. Oh, nice. Um that's going to cost me another egg. Okay. Um so, I'll spend that egg uh and two cards. Um I'm going to get the whale shark and this guy out there. Perfect. Okay, I'm down to three again. A measly three just like me.

Where was our score? Last time we had scores for like filled rows and stuff. I want those back. I don't want those back, but But not three. No, that's true. That's true. Um so yeah, I got the scaleless black dragonfish plate. Cool. He's activated. He gets to consume, although he's kind of a little guy.

Is he? He's 30 cm. Oh, mine's 30, too, but I think that makes it a little It does make it a little bit harder for them to consume stuff. one fish to consume for him. have any babies for them to consume. Uh I'm going to go diving in my green column. So, I have someone here I can uh activate and that means that this will become a fish.

I'm going to go to him. He can activate and have an egg hatch to become a fish. I'm going to go here. She activates to become a fish. He activates two more to become fish. Look at all these fish, David. You're missing it. Look at all these young fish. Wow. And then this guy will allow my fish to move.

So, normally I would want to move this guy to my other two to get a school. Um so, that way they're going to be six points at the end. But, right now we're just getting points for young fish, so I'm actually just going to use the movement to not meet up with the school. Um but, I will use him so that he's off of another fish.

So, he can move here. And then my end of week bonus is another movement. Uh and I will move somebody else off, probably just him over here. So, setting it up for future rounds where they can create a school, but not right now. My turn? Your turn. I am going to dive. Am I going to dive? I am going to dive.

Well, hold on. I think Could I get You already said you have to do it. get another fish plate is my question. Um Probably you got two more could Uh I can. So I'm going to. Oh. Um He can so he will. I'm going to get another fish plate. I have two more turns, correct? Yes, after this one, yeah. Uh I'm going to play this guy right here.

Okay. It's going to cost me my only two cards. Now I'm fishless. fishless. Um and that is that. Okay, interesting. I mean I like it. It has an all players thing, so that's fine by me. I'm good with that. Uh I am going to Well, I really did what I wanted, which was all these little young fish. Um I think I'm actually going to just try to make even more.

Uh I think you should consolidate them into schools right now. not think that is the right right now. play here. Um I mean if you want uneducated fish, that's fine. I do want uneducated fish. No fish left behind. No fish left behind. I'm going to dive again to get some more eggs. Uh So, we're going to go here.

Uh we're going to get one egg. Uh we're going to go here. We're going to get another egg. We're going to go here. We're going to get a third egg. Um which can go anywhere there's a fish. Um it just can't be a second egg. We're going to go here. Um and then we can uh all players can hatch one of their eggs.

Oh, I like it. So, I will hatch this egg. Um and then no bonus because I've already done this once. My turn? Your turn. I'm going to dive here. I get an egg. Yes. Uh go here. I get two eggs. You know what? I'm going to do that. Nice. Um no, I'm not going to do that. No, not that. Uh and I go down here and because there's a fish here, I also get an egg.

Okay. And I go down here. no, no, no, David. Oh, I'm sorry. And we all get a card. And we all get a card. I got the paint-spotted moray. This one's so good for me. I say this every time, but it's true. You really like my best cards are coming on your turns. That's painful. This would be game end if I had eggs on each of the small fish and most of my fish are small fish.

So, I'd like that a lot. Good luck with that. I I I genuinely hope you succeed, Emily. He's hoping the good karma comes back to you. fish. Uh I'm going to come down here as my final trick and get one more egg. Perfect. Oh, and the guy you got needs eggs. So, that's good for you, too, right? Um which guy?

The guy you just got, the guy you picked up. He does need eggs, but I don't really want to spend eggs to put out another fish cuz I do want to get some week three points. I mean, if you must. Some. Um all right, I'm going I have one guy left. I think I will Making some excellent choices. Thank you. Thank you.

That's the second excellent pun today. Uh pattern Try to try to do better. I think I am just going to dive again. Um so, we're going to go here so we can activate this. We can activate this. We can activate this. Um this doesn't even get used because we don't have any more eggs. Uh we can move somebody.

I'll move School. School. School. School. no, no, no. There. And that's uh all players get an egg. Oh, I don't mind that one bit. Although I'm not going to be able to hatch many of And that's it. Is it my turn? It is. I'll fish up some better ones. I like that. It's not horrible. It's not horrible. Um I'm going to dive here.

I'm going to hatch Okie doke. this and I'm going to come down here. I have an egg uh fish there, so I'm going to hatch another. Nice. I'm going to activate this card and hatch this guy. Cool. Um and then I'm going to move Who you want to move? Uh I'll move this guy here. Okay. And then I'll come down here and not move.

Sounds good. I mean And you can't move through these. If you were to try to like move from here to there, he would stop there create a school. Yeah. Yeah, they want to be educated. a school. That's the end of the round or do you have another go? done. We're done. I think you've got me. You might have me on fish.

I don't know. On youth young fish. Is it young? Yankee young fish. How many you got? I got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13. Lucky 13. 13 points plus three? Yes. So 16 points. That more than doubles my score. I'm feeling good about that one. 31 points for Emily. David did not get to choose if we did side A or side B.

One No. As you can tell. I didn't. I've got 1 2 3 4 5 6. Oh, this is not good. 31 to 21 right now. Next time we'll play side A again. I don't like it. I don't like it. And we're in our last week. So we're going to take all of our divers back. Still just six actions. Um Yeah, now I'm like right at this moment I'm missing the bonus actions of Wormspan.

We can like I can still do a ton of stuff. Uh, That's so crazy in Wormspan when you can just get tons and tons of bonus actions. Unlike Wingspan which at this point we'd have what? Four actions? Three actions? I think five by the end. I think it goes down eight to five. Okay. Um, but it feels like none by the end of it.

You're like, very constraining in Wingspan. Um, okay, go ahead David. What do you want to do? Okay. Um, I think I need to find ways to get these young into schools so they could really maximize points. I'm going to dive here. I get a card. Um, all players get a card. Love that. You know how good my luck is with your cards, David.

Um, I get a card out of here. What do I have? I need Uh, I need you. Pikachu. Okay. Pikachu wasn't a fish. It's a whale shark. Um, then I get all players get to move a thing. Oh, yes. We got it for school. I'm going to move here and get a school myself. School it up. School it up. School it up. Um, then I go here and I get a card.

Yes. And then I go here and activate. Do you have any small guys? I do not. Oh, that's a problem. That is a problem. I go here and I have a fish so I get another card. I think mine are going to trade school. I've got a pygmy seahorse. I've not seen a seahorse yet. I like it. Trade school. All right.

Uh and then I go down to the bonus uh bonus action and I get another card from my discard pile. I think. I feel like your discard pile this game has just been your hand. Like for how often you keep putting them back. is this just any card? Uh play any card on the sun. Yeah. I mean it has to still be legal and you'll still pay its cost, but you are going to get to play an extra card.

pay its cost. I see. I see. Well But it's an extra action, really. Well I think I'll take him. He is squeaking out those extra actions somehow. Uh yes, I am squeaking out those extra actions somehow. All righty, I'm going to I think I want to play fish. I'm going to play Do I want to play this one or do they I want to play the one that I talked about last time.

have a bit more of an ocean to your aquarium. I agree with that. I totally agree with that. It's cuz your rock mover What is that? I don't know how to pronounce that. Rassy? Who? Him? Yeah. Yeah, my rock mover rass. Rass? Rass. We don't know. All you fish experts out there, let us know. Rock mover rass or rassy?

Um and he's going to go somewhere in the bottom of the eating all your fish. I think he wants to live He wants to live right here by the silver lion fish. He's happy in this new spot. He's just a little baby at the very bottom of the ocean. A little baby. A little baby. just a little baby? Yes. Are there dingos in this game?

Um Okay. I need to start doing some things. You only have five more things to do, really. I know. I know. I know. I think I need to Agreed. Getting those extractions is very efficient. Love that. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, that's rough. Do I have any low point fish? You have that little guy, right? Yeah, the pygmy guy is not horrible.

Um I am going to What I think is interesting, too, is that So, he's got that camouflage tag next to him. There's not a ton going on with the tags right now, but it just feels like it's just waiting there for the future. I'm going to play that pygmy fish there for one other card. Uh I'm going to play that card.

The fish who lived. Pygmy sea seahorse. All right. No, he's going to be in green. Oh, I didn't even see that. That's fine. I'll put him here, but that's not exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks for seeing that. No problem. Um okay. We're going to really, but I mean, you're welcome, though. You're welcome.

welcome. We're going to go diving. I'm going to get some eggs. We do an egg here. We do an egg here. We do an egg here. All players are going to get to hatch an egg. I'm going to hatch this guy. Um that's you, too. Hatch an egg. You get one more egg. Let's do it here again. Okay. That's my dive. Okay.

Um actually, I'm going to hatch this one. No taksie-baksies. Always taksie-baksies in the ocean. Um I have all these fish for up here. That is hard. So, this is like the last round of these getting a little bit tighter, but you have some that are still good in the bottom zones. to I'm going to play this guy.

And I'm going to have him eat the pygmy seahorse. Ooh. Do I want to do that? That's a good idea just because he's only worth one point anyway. So, he'll still be worth a point if he's eaten. Here's the thing though. I'm going to dive first. I'm going to dive there. All right. Um let's see. Do I even have enough eggs?

1 2 No, that's no good. I'm going to play him. Sorry. Sorry. Is that and I'm going to eat this fish right here. I think David play him. Yeah, okay. 1 2 Yes, got you. Good? You're all good. Okay, I'm going to dive in the green column. So, that means I'm going to get to start hatching some eggs. Hatching some eggs.

Hatch that one. Hatch this one. Hatch this one. Hatch this one. I don't have any more. Um and then I get to move. Oh, this one is a school cuz it's all three. I did do that purposely. that is a school. Uh I get one movement. I'm going to move this guy here so that he's a school. School it up. School it up.

I did have not have nearly this many schools last time. And then an egg. That's for you too. You get a an egg as well. My dear friend. All right, thank you. Thank you very much. And then I get one movement and I'm going to move uh I don't know if I'll just move here. All right, this is a school. So many schools.

Education in this ocean. schools. You got a whole district over there. Is it back to me? Emily, yes. Superintendent Emily. Um all right. So now I am going to I've got three actions left. Um Oh, interesting. A fish. He has to consume something. Well, David like it. I don't like it all. looking for my vote, I'd love for you to play something or dive in a way where I get more cards.

I mean That's what I would love right now. I'm about to do something that gives you another card. for, so I appreciate that. Um You'll get those good karma points. Which is more important than winning. I think I'm going to play a fish, though. No, David. The red lionfish, right here. What's he look like?

Oh, he's a cutie. he's very nice looking fish. He's going to cost me a card. a card. Oh, no. Why? Why? Because of this? No. So when So when you play it, you get to play another fish into the sunshine. I didn't see that. Um I will That actually works out. Okay, yeah. Because he could still be somewhere.

but then this guy is not going to do much of anything. Well, you still you have Both of them can be put in the sunshine, right? Yeah. The sunlight. So you could play one now and then play one at the end. don't want to lose out on a lot of points. I'm going to play this one right here. So basically, he allowed himself to get eaten Yeah, right away.

He's like, "Hey guys, gulp." Um but this one's going to cost me a fish. Yes. And he had to consume, which he did. consume. Nice. Uh, and when played, I get two cards. Oh, wow. Here it comes. And And I get to move a fish, which I am not going to do. Okay. Cool. You could also use it to move your school more out of the way, but I don't it's not going to matter that much.

Oh, you're right. I can. Yeah. Cool. My school is going to swim to the bottom. Bottom of the ocean, get out of everybody's way. There you go. Um, all right. I'm going to You didn't give me any cards, David. How could you do this to me? Um, very very happily. Question mark. Uh, I must then just go and get more eggs.

Um, all right. So, we're going to the middle column again to get eggs. We're going to do it here. And then another one here. And then another one here. And then all players get to hatch an egg. Boom, ba da dum. Oh, that's you, too. Okay. I got a school. And that is the end. to kill me on some of those points.

Just absolutely destroy me. Back to me? Back to you. Okay. Um 85. Oof, that's that's that's no good. That's no good. No bueno. Doing some doing some quick math here. 85. Oh, he's bigger. That's not too bad. Hm. What you thinking? Well, I'm going to dive. All right. get an egg. Okay. I'm going to put that here.

Yeah. I'm going to go here and get two more eggs. Love it. I'm going to put those here and here. Yep. Go down here. Get an egg. An egg? What? Yeah. I'm going to put it on the European flounder. Then I'm going to go down here and get nothing, but I'm going to go down here and get Oh, that's right. Here we get a card.

to stop him. Here we get a card. Here we get a card. And then I go all the way to the bottom and get another egg. Which I'm going to put right here. Don't sound too excited about it. Here. I've I've made mistakes. I've made mistakes. That's fine. It's It's all fine. It's fine. Uh if no tokens on this fish, I think I could do that pretty easily.

Um All right, I'm going to do another dive for hatchin'. So, I'm going to hatch this guy. I'm going to hatch this guy. I'm going to hatch this guy. I'm going to I've nothing else to hatch. So, I got one more movement. These guys are going to become a school of fish. Um all players are going to get an egg.

David, that's you. I don't need any more eggs. Well, you got one. They're points, too. So, be happy about it. but I really don't need them. I mean, I'll take it if you don't want it. No. It's fine. Is it back to me? Yes. Is this my last turn? Yes. Okay. Okay, this is one of those games, too, where it's your last turn, you kind of want to go, "Okay, what do What do I got going on here?" Yes.

Um I feel like that could be good. Um I'm going to be able to play this guy. All right, talk us through it, David. I can't stop you here now. I am I've got a fish to get played at the end. Okay. And that's that guy. And you already got you're going to get the six points cuz you have two fish there. Yeah, I'm good there.

You're also going to get to put eggs on all the points. That's That's I'm I'm just trying to figure out I got how to get this fish played and then I'm trying to figure out I was thinking about getting this guy played, but it puts eggs on all of these, which already have eggs. already have eggs. So, yeah, that's a little bit an abundance of eggs.

He is I mean, he's just one point, so he's not doing a ton for you. Um I think what I'm going to do though Yes. This is unfortunate for a variety of reasons is I'm going to play a fish. I mean, I think that was going to be your best move anyway. And I'm going to play this abysmal Halosaur. Yes. It can go with the bottom.

Um and I'm going to put that Thanks, Jason. right here. It cost me a fish. And you have one. Nice. And when I play it, I can play another fish on the bottom row. There you go. I have this spiny sea devil. Nice. Um which is going to cost me two eggs, but of course now I'm not getting this guy played.

That's fine. So, but it's fine. It's fine. It's all fine. I'm going to take this egg away from Nemo's family. That's fine. What? And this one. And that is when played, I get to draw cards out of my Three cards. And think about I would say look at you're going to get to play another sunshine one, right?

So Is there a better sunshine one that you're going to get to play afterwards? I'll let you think about that, David. I'll let you do my last turn, which is also going to be to play a fish. I'm going to play this abyssal anglerfish. Um, he's a predator who's bioluminescent. Um, and he's going to go somewhere in this bottom row.

I believe he'll go right here. Um, and he wants to pay an egg, which I have one more of. And a card, which I also have one more of. And I feel quite efficient. Still in that way. Quite efficient? Yeah. Let's see how big this guy is. Okay. Okay, okay. That could work. I'm going to take this guy instead of this guy.

All righty. So, now we're at week four. Which means any of our yellow abilities are going to go off. First, we do any that don't have uh points. So, I have one I'm going to do mine first cuz you have more than I do. Uh, I have one that's going to give fish uh eggs on any of the small guys who don't already have an egg.

An egg. An egg. An egg. An egg. And unfortunately, also an egg. Uh, which is unfortunate because he gets three points if he has no tokens, but now he does have a token. So, that was actually net negative on him. Uh, but I'm so sorry. Yeah, I know. Really shedding a lot of tears for me over there. And then that would be three points, but he just doesn't get it.

So, that's the end of mine. All done. Okay, so my yellow cards? Now, all your yellow to do these in any order we want? In any order you want. The points are going to go last. So, first you'll do any actions and then you'll get points. I'm going to do this one. This gives me an egg on every one of these guys.

Dang. That's a lot of guys. Um, and then this one lets me play a fish into the sunshine. I am going to Where did he go? Where did he go? That guy? This. Um I'm going to spend two eggs Okay. You have plenty. and a card Yep. to play this Atlantic salmon. And this Atlantic salmon is going to be played right Oh, he's tiny.

Is he? Oh, he's not He's not What? He's huge. But he's going to go right here. Underneath that guy. Okay. And that guy um lets me play a fish in one of this top row. Yeah, accurate. In which case, I'm going to play the whale shark for this school. Okay. Right here. Big 12 points. I mean, I had to spend six points to get it, but Still a net six.

Um and when played When played, put an egg on every green. for all players. Yeah. Right? Does me, too? I'm all players. Okay, dope. I love that. get more than three? No, I just got three. Oh, I have I have the one right here. So, that is all my yellow cards. Dun dun dun dun Except for the scoring ones.

And then now you can do your scoring ones. Scoring ones is six points. So, I currently have 27 to 31. And now we do end game scoring. Yes. All right. So, we're going to do Points on visible fish. Um can I just read them out now? I'll Okay, so 3 + 1 is 4 + 7 is 11 + 2 is 13 14 15 19 20 25 29 uh 33? 33 for visible fish points.

33 for visible fish points. That takes you up to 64 points. My visible fish points I've got these are not bad 4 16 21 30 34 36 38 38 45 50 58 61 68 71 71 David 71 plus 27 98 You took the lead. You took the lead right there. Nicole might have been right. Yeah. bait and switch. Although your school situation is going to be No, don't look at that.

It's fine. We don't need We don't have to even score it. We can just we can What's not scored schools? Is that what you're saying? What's next? The next is going to be the eggs. So a point for each egg. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 All right, nine for me. 14 for you. Nine for me.

on. How many for you? Nine. Nine. All right. 73 to 113 right now. Oh my god. All right, the schools are going to be though. I have no school points. Is that what's next? Nope, it's young now. So young fish are each a point. 1 2 3 4 for me. Four for you. You have 77 and I have two. Which is 115. And then here we go schools.

Schools are each six points. I think they're just one point. I don't think so. Negative six points? No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 that's 36 points for me. How many schools do I have? Where is Where did yours go David? Where is your big school? schooled. I think that should count. I think that should count. How many did you have?

36? 36 points. 36 points. Oh boy. So, you're at 113. And what are you at? 115. Oh my god. Well, we have we still have the consumed fish. That's the last one. No, it doesn't It's just the cards, right? It's not these guys. It is It also counts considers the forage ones. So, anything that you consumed is worth one point.

One, two, three, four. Four. Five. I have five, David. Well, I had seven. Did you really? Yeah, all those ones that I covered up towards the end. Oh my gosh. five? Uh-huh. What? You did it. The bait and switch was real. Nicole, you called it. You called it. You gave him everything he needed. up. I screwed up.

You I had seven. Mhm. Yeah, I have 122 and you have 118. Okay, well, that's still sounds like you won. Is that the Is that the end of the game? That is the end of the That's the end of the game? I won Fin Fin Fin Fin Fin Fin. I won Fin Fin against Emily. Everyone, mark it down. Alicia, you're back just in time.

My lovely wife, yes, I just beat Emily in Fin Fin 122 Yes. to 118. Do you want to show back to us so we can see your your all your excitement, real time? The game is over. Fin Fin, another game in the books. Uh the score was 122 to 118. What was our last score? Our last score was 107 to 98. Again? Pretty dang close.

Very close games. I always love when that happens and we got there in wildly different ways. David's new favorite game now because he just He was already a fan of this Fin and now now there's this. I'm still a fan of the span. Um, no, this was an interesting experience. This was a lot different than my last play cuz I didn't get I mean I think I scored on fish points.

Period. Straight up. That's where I really got my points. Um, I was very nervous when I didn't have any schools this whole time. I know. And you had all that and I knew that I was going to eat this last school to get that one 12 point guy I played. Played. So it was like I don't know how it's going to end up.

Yes, exactly. And we I think last time we had almost completely full. Like I have a lot more spaces this time where I don't have fish. So I did a lot more of just diving and diving and getting those young to become the schools to be the points. Um, whereas you still got actually quite a few fish played.

I liked how you stringed out those end game things to get more points. fun. I mean assuming we strung that out correctly, if I play another end game card, I can trigger it too. So that was fun. Did you get many end game cards in general? I didn't really. Um, like I think these two were some of the only two I saw.

I we can tell too from my discard. I had another one here. more. And that was it. That was it. That's all I saw. I had another one here for eggs, but I again, I didn't even I couldn't have taken the eggs. was when I put guys into my discard, they were actually discarded and gone. Whereas your discard was like constantly swimming right back.

We have a we have a come and go policy over here in this ocean. They they they're welcome back. These three guys are the last guys I didn't have. The pennant coral fish, the white margin stargazers or that is a mouthful. Yeah. Um, and the paint spotted moray. And he's got that electric, which again, not much happening with these tags yet, but I'm super excited to see where they go with it.

Yeah, this one has a couple three little tags. Two electric tags and what looks like a poison tag. Yes, venomous. I don't know. We'll see. It doesn't have any bearing in this game, right? No, not yet. Um, some of these so there are some weekly accomplishment Oh, for some of those. for the predator ones specifically are looking to see a we almost got that for the consumed fish.

Might be on the other side actually. Yeah. So on the other side would have been up two points for each predator tag if we had done it that way but Thank you Susanna for mentioning how funny our jokes are. Now I'm going to remind that of Alicia when she gets home tonight and she's like yeah I know you were you were funny on this stream.
