#Hey thats my fish delux how to#

so we'll usually play two games in a row and the same person usually doesn't win twice. We can typically set up and play a game in 20-25 min. It is very simple to play but also can be quite challenging, sort of in the same way as checkers or chinese checkers. My wife and I like this game and we've had a good time playing it a few times with my sister and her husband. Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013

#Hey thats my fish delux how to#

Younger ages will have no trouble figuring out how to play.Ĭute Game for Kids ~ Modified the game 'board' and pieces Now that I have the Velcro on the poster board it is so simple to set up and play. Overall we like the game and are glad we purchased it. * Eventually the kids figure out they can block players into little corners or areas thus making the game a bit boring because they always win * Pieces are easy to bump out of position when playing * Penguins are durable plasticy, rubber pieces with cute poses Now it's easy to set the game up and play. I added Velcro to the ice pieces (pics above) and traced each ice tile onto poster board. So I modified the game a bit and now we love it. What we didn't like is that the pieces slide every which way and it was hard to see where the lines to move were when ice pieces started being taken away. The game play is easy to understand and the game moves fast.

We purchased this game for Christmas and are very pleased. I purchased the game for slightly under $25, which I think is about the right price.ġ) It takes a little time to set-up the board each time by laying out the hexagons into a pattern.Ģ) This 'Deluxe' release, meaning it comes with figurines instead of chits to represent the penguins, should have come with a draw bag to pull the hexes from randomly to lay out the board.ģ) The rules state the hexes only have fish printed on one side, but they are printed identically on both sides not that it matters, you are supposed to know where the fish are unless, I guess, if you're playing the game randomly.Ĥ) The hexes slide around a bit, and while this simulates ice floes breaking apart, you need to keep adjusting the board during play. The more players, the better It is much more fun than the other penguin-themed board game we have, Pengoloo, which is just a slightly modified matching game. My son loves it and has wanted to play it each night Mommy had fun playing, so the game wins with her. It has quite the insidious strategic element to it, which I love. You place your penguins on a board and slide them around the ice, capturing fish and blocking the other players from their catch. Hey! That's My Fish is the simplest game ever, yet is a lot of fun and quick to play. I purchase a lot of boardgames for my 5-year-old son and I to play this time we wanted to involve Mommy, who hates rules. They are colorful and very well constructed. I got the deluxe edition, which comes with the nicer penguins, and was glad I did. It's simple enough for my 6 year old niece to learn and enjoy, and has enough strategy that my 9 year old niece loves it too.

The game changes each time because the tiles are randomly laid out in the general shape of a square, so the placement of the tiles with the most fish changes each game. The players also try to land on tiles with the most fish on them. As the penguins are moved, each player tries to isolate the other players from the tiles by taking away tiles around them. At the end of the game, the number of fish are counted up on the tiles, and the person with the most fish wins. Each of these tiles have anywhere from one to three fishes on it. As soon as a penguin is moved, the last tile it was standing on is collected by the owner of the penguin. Each player has multiple penguins (a different amount of penguins depending on the # of players) The penguin can move straight ahead as far as it wishes but can not hop over other penguins. The penguin must stand on a tile that has only one fish on it (for the first turn). The penguins are placed on the tiles one at a time as folks take turns placing their penguins. Basically, there are tiles (ice) that the penguins stand on. This is a game that is incredibly simple to learn.
