Hey, That's My Fish!
Hungry penguins, shrinking ice, and a friendly grudge by turn five.
What it is
Penguins slide in straight lines across hex ice floes, grabbing tiles worth one to three fish. Every tile you leave behind disappears, so the board shrinks and the table gets quietly mean. It suits the kid who wants a real game and the adult who wants to win it.
What we love
- One paragraph of rules, then you are playing
- The ice is laid out fresh every game, so no two boards match
- A shrinking board builds endgame tension with no extra rules
Honest trade-offs
- The random layout can hand one seat a better start
- Two-player games run drier and more calculating than three or four
- Getting stranded early is no fun for the player it happens to
