It\u2019s also, rather wonderfully, the setting for one of the most elegant nature-inspired boardgames on the table right now: Finspan.<\/p>\n<p>Finspan casts players as marine researchers exploring the Sunlight, Twilight and Midnight Zones of the world\u2019s oceans. In the game, players discover fish, lay eggs, hatch young and form schools, building an underwater ecosystem. For those who want to know more about the ocean and its underwater creatures, Finspan will reward their curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s this blend of gentle strategy and marine wonder that makes Finspan feel especially fitting for World Ocean Day. The game asks players to look beneath the surface, to pay attention to ecosystems, and to find joy in the extraordinary diversity of ocean life, one beautifully illustrated fish card at a time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finspan: Sharks &amp; Reefs<\/strong><br \/>That sense of wonder expands even further with Finspan: Sharks &amp; Reefs, the new expansion that brings coral reef habitats and powerful shark abilities into the game. Players can nurture colourful reefs in each of their ocean\u2019s three dive sites, unlocking fish abilities and scoring bonuses, while sharks introduce fresh strategic possibilities by scattering schools of young and leaving behind food scraps that other fish can consume. The expansion includes 75 new fish cards, five starter fish cards, reef overlay mats and wooden coral tokens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinspan works because it turns ocean life into something people can explore together, and with Sharks &amp; Reefs, there is an added sense of discovery and urgency,\u201d says Philip Galliford of Solarpop.<\/p>\n<p>This World Ocean Day, Finspan and Sharks &amp; Reefs offer a fitting way to mark the day.<\/p>\n<p>For more inspiration follow @solarpopsouthafrica<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author<\/strong>: V D from <strong><a title class=\"aalmanual\" href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/a\/twiga-communications\/\">Twiga Communications<\/a><strong> on behalf of <strong>Solarpop<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong><\/p>\n<h3>Track Your Press Release HERE:<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mypr-visibility-box\" readability=\"4.2608695652174\">\n<h4>Check Online Visibility<\/h4>\n<p>Verify where this release is currently indexed:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\" aria-current=\"page\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/celebrate-world-ocean-day-with-finspan\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/celebrate-world-ocean-day-with-finspan\/\" target=\"_blank\">Free Press Release Submission<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/MyZA.co.za\/events\">Click HERE<\/a> to Advertise your Upcoming Event\/Match\/Conference\/Stage Show\/Performance for FREE.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Ocean Day, marked globally on 8 June, is a reminder that the ocean is a living system, full of movement, beauty, danger and delicate balance.
