Hey That's My Fish Board Game

Product Information

board game, originally published in 2003, has been recognized for its innovative strategy through a Spiel des Jahres recommendation and other awards. If you enjoy board games with friends but find it frustrating explaining things for half an hour before you get started, here's the game to go for. Your job seems simple: race across a random arrangement of icy fish deposits with a colony of up to four penguins, as you attempt to seize the most fish.

When a penguin can't move, it's removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. I picked up this game for my 2 sons as a gateway game into more advanced table top games, the game is simple which is what i wanted and helps with their planning skills.As the game progresses, the available landing points diminish as more and more ice floes disappear from the board.

Everything is done very professionally with this company and always lets you know every step of the process. Newcomers and fans of this classic board game will enjoy the solo option against a clever AI opponent, perfect for a quick casual game during the day, or a more intense struggle to beat your best score. The game is simple, fast, and engaging, making it suitable for young kids and strategic enough for the whole family to enjoy. If you want, you can try putting all of the 3 fish tiles in the middle, you can try multiple glaciers, you can try a single glacier with a large cave in the middle, or anything else that you can imagine. The new art commissioned by FFG for the compact set of ice tiles clearly displays the number of fish on each tile with lively and colorful renditions.

A game can last anywhere from 5-10 minutes, so after a couple of rounds your ready to start a more medium/heavy game. Now you must race across shrinking ice floes to retrieve as many fish as you can before the ice melts beneath your feet. Once the player has moved their penguin they are then able to pick up the tile where they started their turn from and place it face-up in front of them. Players can choose to battle up to three friends, or a combination of friends and computer opponents through pass and play. Then, place them face-up in a rough square shape, alternating the rows between seven and eight until you have placed all the tiles.

That’s My FISH’ players take turns moving one of their penguins in a straight line collecting the tile (with all its fish) they started on. Now, Fantasy Flight Games is proud to publish this definitive edition of the game, which includes a new box, new penguin miniatures, and new artwork.But the instant he saw me doing that he moved his penguin one single tile space toward the fishpile.

This list has wallet-sized and wallet-friendly games; games for the first timer and for friends who have been playing for years. is an engaging, award-winning board game of strategic fish hunting, in which two to four players control determined penguins hungry for their next meal on a bustling Antarctic ice floe.Add to that the aforementioned number of possible starting shapes, and you have a game that’s light enough to entertain children while becoming as think-y as you’d like it to be. It's essentially got one rule, and you'll have explained how the game works by the time you've set up the board. The AI is actually pretty good and the hard AI will provide a challenge for even the adult players which is nice; but thankfully the easy AI is forgiving enough for the target audience to not feel hopeless.
