Hey That's My Fish Board Game

Product Information

We are a group of passionate individuals who share our love of board games through written and video reviews, articles, and humor, so that others can join us in our journey. The chosen penguin can move in any of the six directions of its ice floe tile and must move in a straight line. 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. is a simple tile collection game which has so few rules it can be taught and played in under 5 minutes which makes it a great game for kids, people looking for a light starter and simpletons like me.

With randomized maps created every game, your penguins can waddle across perpetually new Antarctic terrain in their quest for a tasty dinner. It’s not a game I’m busting out a lot on my phone or tablet and is something I have used for friends kids or as a quick intro game with my parents before we fire up a slightly more in depth and engaging app for them such as Ticket to Ride. 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. Players then start the game by placing their colored penguins on ice floes containing only one fish until all penguins are on the board. You do have to think ahead a few turns and hope that your opponents aren’t going for the same tile you are!

Everything is done very professionally with this company and always lets you know every step of the process. Players must move their penguins every turn, unless they cannot move to a tile adjacent to the ice floe tile they are currently on.

Can you supply your colony with enough food to win the day, or will your cunning opponent leave you drifting out at sea? You can play with up to 4 human players on one device or against up to 3 AI ranging from easy to hard. 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. The player then collects the hex from where the penguin started its movement from the table, thereby creating a gap which penguins can? We had trouble setting up the game with loads of tiny hexagons fitted into a pattern and then the game play was far too simple and pointless.For three players you must use three penguins each and with four player you must use two penguins each. A large variety of unlockable map levels that increase in difficulty and an optional turn-length time limit will have you constantly testing your skills.

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. Now, Fantasy Flight Games is proud to publish this definitive edition of the game, which includes a new box, new penguin miniatures, and new artwork.

I could tell, at one point, that he was near a sort of “peninsula” full of fish and made a go for it. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If the game is going to be in such a huge box, having a tray to put the tiles in for game play would be a good idea. 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.

is a surprisingly complex game when played with any number and deserves more attention from serious gamers. 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.BGG has a number of different starting shapes for the ice floes/fish, all of which will change the game. Newcomers and fans of this classic board game will enjoy the solo option against a clever AI opponent, perfect for a quick casual game during the day, or a more intense struggle to beat your best score. It was frustrating to be denied even the chance of some winnings but refreshing to be able to see it coming. With the random placement of the hex tiles/ice floes at the start of each game, there is no single strategy to winning.
