Hey That's My Fish Board Game

Product Information

And when a penguin can't move, it's removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. 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. We bought it as me and my 8 year old enjoy Forbidden Island but it's a little bit on the hard side for her and I was hoping this would be a younger child's version. years after its original release, Next Move Games is making sure the penguins continue to get their fish.

We’re thrilled to take all LEGO and board game fans on this gaming journey, combining the LEGO Group’s timeless creativity with our passion and expertise in board games,” said Birgitte Bülow, leader of the LEGO board game creation team at Asmodee. 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. Like you said, the cutesy nature of the pieces and artwork is a disguise for a game that can be an amazing brain-burner. The aim is to get as many fish on a random hexagonal board before the board itself melts away, leaving you trapped on an isolated ice floe like a tiny, elderly inuit. 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.Every move in Hey, that’s my Fish matters so much because the playing area is so tight and from that first move you’re already punching holes in it, creating divides, creating ever-thinner lanes of travel that your penguins and everyone else’s must try to squeeze through. For three players you must use three penguins each and with four player you must use two penguins each. 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). 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.

Consult The Google for variations—my personal one is a large hex with the center hex/ice flow missing. When a penguin can't move, it's removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. I am not incredulous, it’s just that the title of the game ends with an exclamation point and then I wanted to add a question mark because I am asking you, Brendan, a question.

When a penguin leaves a tile, the player removes it and puts it into their fish stash, leading to an ever-shrinking board.
