Hey That's My Fish Board Game

Product Information

As you hone your strategy with every new map, will the icy shapes lead to your demise or will you claim victory?

For three players you must use three penguins each and with four player you must use two penguins each. The removed hex/ice floe becomes part of that player’s hoard of fish and will count towards their final fish count at the end of the game.That indicates there was a shark waiting under the floe that eats the penguin who moves off of it, thereby eliminating it from the game. 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. 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. each player takes charge of 2-4 penguins (depending on the number of players) in an epic struggle to steal the most fish from the glacier before it melts. Like you said, the cutesy nature of the pieces and artwork is a disguise for a game that can be an amazing brain-burner.

There definitely is fun to be had with this app as a palette cleanser or as a warm up to a more tactical game as well as just something fun to introduce to your kids to get them started in the world of board gaming. Our ultimate guide to board game cafes has everything you need to know about what a board game cafe is, or how to find one in your area! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.They then carefully take the hex/ice flow they moved from and remove it from the board, leaving a gap that no penguin can cross over. Then, place them face-up in a rough square shape, alternating the rows between seven and eight until you have placed all the tiles.

Two or three moves in, you'll realise that simple game mechanics doesn't mean a simple game - you're playing on a board that disintegrates as you go along, leading to rapidly increasing risk of getting stranded. I am asking you this question to highlight that your hood is up because our readers, at home, cannot see how you have decided to array your attire. The chosen penguin can move in any of the six directions of its ice floe tile and must move in a straight line. And when a penguin can't move, it's removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. Each turn, a player moves one penguin in a straight line over ice tiles that contain one, two or three fish on them.

The game – designed by Günter Cornett and Alvydas Jakeliunas – celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. And as I said before - however you setup the board will force players to have to adjust their strategy, thus giving the game depth. Now you must race across shrinking ice floes to retrieve as many fish as you can before the ice melts beneath your feet.

Each turn, the active player chooses one of the penguins that remains on the glacier, and he is allowed to move him as far as he wants in a straight line onto a new hexagonal piece; after which he collects the tile where the penguin started (and all of it's tasty fish). If no more moves can be taken, or if all penguins have been removed back to the players’ collection, the fish on the tiles are counted and the player with the most fish wins. When a penguin can't move, it's removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. It is cold because we have been playing Hey, That’s My Fish, which is a game set on some melting ice. I'd love to put the game in a tiny bag and throw out the massive waste of a box, but I can't seem to want to take things out of their original packaging.

FFG are known for their bigger brand games such as Star Wars: X-Wing and LOTR: Journey to Middle-earth, so it’s not the kind of game you would expect them to publish. While this board doesn’t eat away at itself from the outside, the new, inner empty spaces quickly serve as blockades to limit how far a penguin can travel. From light play to a serious strategic mindset, this animated adventure is perfect for players of any experience level. You’ll not only have to do a risk assessment on that penguin’s earning potential, but you’ll also need to reconsider all your penguins when it’s your turn again because your opponent is trying to cut you off from parts of the board as well. With hunger urging you on in a fight against your fellow penguins, you’ll do anything you can to survive… while wearing earmuffs.
