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. 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.
