Fintastic Sea Cards Clarification

As fulfillment of Finatstic Sea has begun and some of you have already received your game, we want to share an important note about the cards.
Some people noticed a small discrepancy in the rulebook regarding card quantities:
The rulebook states:
24 Secret Fish cards
→ 4 copies each of: Manta, Flatfish, Hermit Crab, Salmon, Starfish, Turtle
6 Special Fish cards
→ 1 copy each: Octopus, Jellyfish, Seahorse, Eel, Flying Fish, Coral
During the campaign we unlocked 2 stretch goals:
+1 Special Fish: Blobfish
+1 Boxfish
Because of these added cards, if we kept 4 copies of each Secret Fish, we would have ended up with 5 extra cards, requiring an additional production sheet (more cost, more delays).
So we decided to include 3 copies of each Secret Fish instead.
✅ This keeps the printing sheets efficient
✅ This reduces duplicate draws when revealing Secret Fish cards
The same situation happened with the First Player token:
We unlocked a token during the campaign, but the rulebook still shows the First Player card — because the rulebook was already approved and changing it would have delayed production by at least two more weeks. We didn’t want to risk missing Essen fulfillment, so we kept the rulebook text as is.
Final Component Summary
You are receiving the correct final version:
7 Special Fish — 1 of each
7 Secret Fish types — 3 copies each
We hope this clears up any confusion!
also we wanna to explain the ability of strechgoal added cards:
Secret fish Box Fish:
1 VP for each 2 or 5 or 8 fish.
Special fish Blob Fish:
3 VP for a set of 3 fish with a total value of 12
Special Fish Pektis Team:
2 VP for a set of 2 fish with a total value of 8.
Lastly, if you have already tried Fintastic Sea, we would be very grateful if you could give us a rating on BoardGameGeek and maybe leave a few encouraging words. It means a lot to us and really helps the game get discovered.
Huge thanks!
best,
Echo, Mahmoud, and Julian
