Gulo Gulo board game everything in the game

Gulo Gulo board game review

How hard can it be to pull a little egg out of a bowl?

In Gulo Gulo, it’s much harder than you think.

Especially when the bowl is packed with different-sized eggs, you’re only allowed to use one hand, and setting off the alarm can ruin your turn.

That’s the basic premise behind this children’s dexterity game originally released more than 20 years ago.

The game has been out of print for a number of years, but thanks to Pandasaurus Games, Gulo Gulo is back with a new edition!

Although the game is primarily designed for kids, it’s quite the challenge for adults as well (mainly because of our bigger fingers).

Finspan board game review

In 2019, Wingspan took the world by storm.

Rookie game designer, Elizabeth Hargrave, hit a home run on her debut board game with a Kennerspiel des Jahres win. Board game lovers and bird lovers alike all flocked to it. It’s a card-driven, engine-building board game featuring 180 unique birds. Since its initial publication, Stonemaier Games has sold over 2 million copies of Wingspan!

Inspired by that success, Stonemaier Games published Wyrmspan in 2024. It’s a dragon-themed board game with similarities to Wingspan but with plenty of unique elements and an added level of complexity.

Which leads us to the release earlier this year of Finspan.

With 125 unique fish cards, Finspan has players diving into the oceans for aquatic life. They’ll grow their collection of fish, discover fresh eggs, hatch them into young, and nurture them into schools to gain the most points.

So the big question is, “Is Finspan just a quick spinoff without substance, or is it a good game of its own accord?”
