The Verdict
based on 11 reviews
“In conclusion I think that FAA is a gem it is a wonderfully elegant little game that has gorgeous components that just grabs everybody's attention who are playing the game and who are not playing the game”(18:39)
“I don't ever have anything negative to say, I think the game is an absolute masterpiece. Uh, it's so streamlined, so good, the depth, the complexity ratio that I talk about, off the charts.”(12:33)
“Final thoughts time for FAA, which is a lovely, wonderful little fast moving puzzle of a game. Jen, I absolutely adore it, and it's a real shame it's been out of print forever.”(0:00)
“It's definitely nestled in well to my collection. I always look forward to playing this one, and it's just a joy to play, really.”(9:39)
“I think this is like a good family weight, yes, game. Um, like if you have older, like, elementary school kids, like, I feel like they would really enjoy this. Teenagers, like, I feel like this is a really good family game.”(20:32)
“Anybody can play this and it looks gorgeous and has amazing fruit. So yeah, I love it. So this is gonna get a BGM Accepted seal. This is gonna get an eight out of ten on BGG.”(19:06)
“Finca is a delight to play and a delight to own. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into the first time that I tried it, but I’m glad that I did. If you give it a try, I’m confident you’ll feel the same.”
“It is the simplicity of the whole game and how well the mechanics smoothly mesh together that show Finca to be a well tested and designed game.”
“For me personally it's a bit simplistic I find it a little too easy and the strategies it feels a bit syy but I have it because the components are fantastic and it's a game that I can get pretty much anybody to play”(6:29)
“It is a good enjoyable Gateway game, but it's not overly satisfying. It's just, you know, move things, collect tokens and trade them in. It's very much a contract fulfillment at its core with nothing really to mix that up.”(5:09)
“I’m glad Finca is back in print and easily accessible. For $30 this is a great lightweight euro that feels classic but also has enough of a wrinkle to make it stand out from other games.”
