This page should have stuff for other board games at some point, but it's just got finspan for now. So this will probably get moved when other stuff is added.

finspan

Here I've gathered everything we know about future finspan expansions as of the 13th Feburary newsletter, as well as some of ideas and theories of what symbols, game play features and themes could be.

And just some other links, until I can put them somewhere else:

expansion one - Q2 2026

screen captures taken from livecast

These cards were shown during the 2026 Stonemaier Games Preview Livecast on 31 December 2025. This livecast also announced a Q2 (April to June) release in 2026. These cards show three new symbols.

splitting school symbol

The first symbol is a school being split into four young, which may allow you to split up a school token back into young tokens. This might even allow you to create four young instead of just the three used to created the school in the first place.

I would imagine the young created would have to be scattered across the board in some way, as the young can't stay on the same space or they would just turn back into a school again. So the new young could be scattered wherever the player chooses or possibly just adjacent/diagonal/specific spaces.

This image was featured in the Feburary 2026 World of Wingspan Update and featurea an additional two(?) new symbols.

coral symbols

So within everything we've seen I think with have three different types of coral symbols: a blue viney coral, a green branching coral and a red brain coral.

I think the different types of coral line up with the colours of the different dive sites. We see the first card of the newsletter is a green dive site fish played in the wrong colour site. Coral might be used to allow you to play fish in other dive sites, or if coral is growing in dive sites allow certain fish to be played there.

As shown on the newsletter cards, coral maybe a requirement or cost to play a fish card. The black spot/segmented coloured spot may indicate coral of any colour be used to cover the requirement.

We also see coral as a reward, maybe as a new type of token that is used/gained. The second card the the newsletters images, we see a condition on three brain coral being in a dive site(?), a card can be played.

theme?

With four out of six cards revealed being sharks, it's probaly safe to say sharks are a prominent theme for this expansion. Also with the coral features/tokens/symbols, I would imagine coral/reefs is also a theme. In the bottom right of the revealed cards with see a 'SR' symbol for the expansion, so I think it could be that 'Shark Reef' is the name of the expansion.

As a final note, I am looking forward to a new big fish, like the card in the newsletter with the cost of a school. As there is only the one card, the whale shark, with the cost in the base game. Just because I think they are a lot of fun and a cool way to double the points you would otherwise just keeping the school.

expansion two - 2027

"The plan is to incorporate this option into the back side of a rubber playmat that we’ll sell along with the second expansion in 2027." source

This comment was a response to a question asking if there would be reprints of boards with the feeder/starter fish shown with a white background or otherwise more visible so they don't vanish into the background as much. Also mentioning the second expansion coming in 2027.

Not sure if this mayyybe suggests that a different board will be used for the second expansion (but maybe not if the backside of the mat is for the white background feeder fish).

playmat update

"Definitely! We’re just waiting until the second expansion, as both the first and second expansions include additions to the playmats." source

This is another comment about playmats for Finspan, saying that there will be additions in the playmats for both the first and second expansions.

This is comment about the announcement coming in April(!)
