Weekly Featured Games

Takenoko 11/17/2025

Get ready for some panda-monium!

This week we’re thrilled to feature the beautifully simple, relaxing, yet strategic game Takenoko. Players take on the role of gardeners attempting to cultivate the Emperor’s bamboo garden.

You must connect to water to irrigate land plots and grow green, yellow, and pink bamboo. But watch out for the mischievous giant panda who can’t resist munching on your precious crops!

You’ll earn points for achieving goals related to the height and colors of your bamboo, as well as for how will you ensure the picky panda doesn’t go hungry.


HELP US FILL THE PANTRY!

Goose Games will be collecting non-perishable goods every Monday through December 1 for the Utah Food Bank. We believe gamers care about community and we want to provide a practical way to help people in need. We’ll have a box for collections and hope that you’ll consider donating on game nights.

Dive Into the Fun With Finspan

This week we are thrilled to feature Finspan, the beautifully illustrated, aquatic-themed strategy game from the creators of Wingspan, but with streamlined gameplay and an aquatic theme, for 1-5 players.

You are a marine researcher seeking to find and observe an array of aquatic life. You’ll explore the depths of the different areas of the ocean, from the colorful Sunlight Zone to the deep, dark Midnight Zone and place fish, eggs, young, or schools into specific zones.  Discover vibrant marine life, and strategically manage resources to create a thriving oceanic habitat in the colorful Sunlight Zone, the ghostly Twilight Zone, and the pitch-black Midnight Zone of the world’s seas and oceans.

During the course of the game players will build their own underwater ecosystem and the fish you discover over 4 rounds will generate a series of benefits as you dive deeper into the ocean. The winner is the player with the most points gained from fish, eggs, young, schools, and achievements.
