The World of Wingspan just got a lot bigger with the addition of Finspan! Elizabeth Hargrave helped designers David Gordon and Michael O’Connell develop this game into something that is familiar-yet-different from Wingspan, delving deep into the fish theme. 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 4 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.ComponentsRulebookTotal card quantity/size: 152 cards, all 57x87mmPlayer mat size: 530x284mmAutoma solo mode includedBox specs: (296x296x70mm, 1.9 kg, individually numbered)Storage: Finspan includes a plastic tray to hold cards and tokens.

In a far-distant future, humans no longer inhabit Earth. The cause of their disappearance (or perhaps their demise) is unknown, but their absence left a void ready to be filled by another sentient species. Over the span of untold generations, one species of the humble honeybee evolved to fill that void. They grew in size and intelligence to become a highly advanced society.In Apiary, each player controls 1 of 20 unique factions. Your faction starts the game with a hive, a few resources, and worker bees. A worker-placement, hive-building challenge awaits you: explore planets, gather resources, develop technologies, and create carvings to demonstrate your faction’s strengths (measured in victory points) over one year’s Flow. However, the Dearth quickly approaches, and your workers can only take a few actions before they must hibernate! Can you thrive or merely survive?

In Tokaido, you are a traveler in ancient Japan. You will follow the prestigious Tokaido–a road between Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo)–as you try to have a rich and fulfilling experience. Pass through magnificent countryside, taste delicious culinary specialties, purchase souvenirs, benefit from the virtues of hot springs, and have unforgettable encounters on your journey. Tokaido features a time-track mechanism in which the active player is the person who is furthest behind on the path. When you are the active player, you can move your character as far forward as you’d like (with required stops at Inns), gaining different types of set-collection benefits at each unique location. Components 2 rulebooks (multiplayer and solo) 1 box (295x295x50mm) 1 game board (280x840mm) 15 player tokens (3 per player) 50 coins (cardboard) 10 Traveler tiles 142 cards (44x68mm) 5 reference cards (65x100mm) 23 solo cards (44x68mm) In total, there are 165 cards at the 44x68mm size and 5 cards at the 65x100mm size. The solo mode is included in the game, but if you already own Tokaido, we’ll offer it by itself as well (the updated panorama cards are also in that pack). You can also listen to the Tokaido soundtrack while you play. What’s Different? The Stonemaier Games version of Tokaido is completely compatible with existing expansions, and it features these updates: Our version includes an Automa solo mode, expanding the player count to 1-5 players. The solo mode will be available both in our version of the game and separately (for those who already own Tokaido). Our version is manufactured by Panda using our standards for component quality (e.g., the panorama cards will be upgraded to the same 310gsm cardstock we use for all our cards). For any components that need to integrate with existing Tokaido expansions, we’re matching the composition for full compatibility. Our version includes a revised rulebook for clarity and accessibility (the gameplay is the same). Our version includes text on some cards and the character tiles to accompany the icons (so you don’t need to reference the rulebook to decipher combinations of icons). Our version includes reference cards for each player that explain the locations. We’re just making 1 version of Tokaido, not a standard and a deluxe version.
