My first play of Finca came in 2018 at BGG CON. It was one of those rare out-of-print titles folks “in the know” fawned over.
At that time used copies were selling for outrageous prices and, despite being a nearly 10-year-old game at that time, it was regularly checked out of the convention library.
Well, now Finca is widely available in this reprinted edition from Pandasauras games. With new art including a wonderful cover from Vincent Dutrait, you can have your very own copy for under $30.
But was it just the collector mentality and FOMO that hyped Finca up for so long? Or is there a great game to go along with it?
In Finca players will be gathering goods to deliver to the hungry citizens of Mallorca. The board is separated into 10 different regions, each with a stack of request tiles and a finca tile (which will score when all the requests are fulfilled).
