There are many variations of it, the rules here. Our Mayfair Games edition was published in 2005, and was reissued recently in 2012 by Fantasy Flight Games. Go Fish is a simple game that is popular with children (my 6 year old son for example). The colony with the highest catch total win! If there happens to be a tie, the player with the most captured ice floes is declared the winner. Easy to learn, this exciting board game is accessible for players of any experience level, from casual to competitive gamer. Once all players have exhausted all of their possible moves, the game ends and everyone counts their catch. Hey, That’s My Fish is frenzied fun for any setting, from a light and family-friendly experience to a tense and strategically satisfying face-off. At this point they remove their bird from the board, taking the tile they last landed on into their catch. These represent your catch and will ultimately be counted to determine the winner of Hey! That’s My Fish! Players take turns moving and capturing until each player cannot move their penguin any longer. On your turn you may move one penguin in any direction as far as you like as long as you don’t pass over an empty spot or a tile that contains any other penguin, even your own.Īfter moving, pick up the tile you just vacated and place it in front of you. Your vast colony of penguins has been torn apart by a harsh winter and dwindling fishing grounds. This becomes your starting position and careful selection is required for ultimate success. Each player receives a number of penguins of their chosen player color depending upon the number of overall participants.Įveryone takes turns (starting with the youngest player) placing their penguins on any tile which contains only one fish. It does not have to be a perfect square, just try to make sure the tiles are distributed randomly. Arrange them in a rough square in rows of seven or eight until all tiles are on display. Hey, That’s My Fish is an engaging, award-winning board game of strategic fish hunting, in which 2-4 players control determined penguins hungry for their next meal on a bustling Antarctic ice floe.
At the end of the game, the colony that catches the most fish is declared the winner!įor the setup, shuffle the sixty included hexagon tiles and flip them face-up. At the same time they are trying to prevent other colonies from doing the same and attempting to secure the best fishing grounds for themselves. In Hey! That’s My Fish! each player controls a colony of penguins jumping from ice floe to ice floe hunting fish. A rare feature in most games and another reason we couldn’t believe someone donated this to thrift. Hey! That’s My Fish! is super-simple to explain to children as young as 5 or 6, yet has strategic complexity that will keep adults coming back. I have never played (until now), but have seen it mentioned a lot in different Facebook groups in response to questions about great family games that are entertaining for all ages.Īnd now after a couple plays, we understand what all the hubbub was about. What would you call a penguin-shaped meeple? A peeple? Pengle? Meepguin? I haven’t made up my mind yet either, but am happy to have finally found a copy of Hey! That’s My Fish! by Mayfair Games at our local Goodwill.
