With the random placement of the hex tiles/ice floes at the start of each game, there is no single strategy to winning. Add to that the aforementioned number of possible starting shapes, and you have a game that’s light enough to entertain children while becoming as think-y as you’d like it to be. Bonus points for publishing this game in a box just large enough to hold all the pieces.

Joy of joys, this is no longer the case! Pure digital toothyness awaits for a fantastically low price. To begin setup, the game board must be created. Below, the players are able to see how the board should look once it has been fully constructed. Players may switch the tiles around if they choose, but this board setup works for most games. The penguin may move in any one of the six directions of the hexagon, but it cannot change direction during the move. The rules are so simple that a full group of four were taught the rules before turn two of the first game and were penguin strategists extraordinaire by the third!

Setup & Playing the Game

Allow me to give you another example of the slightest of themes: colorful penguins and fish. This could just as easily have been squirrels and nuts, butterflies and flowers, or cubes and rings. Seemingly simple, your goal will be thwarted by devious penguins and an ever-shrinking game board. What strategy will you construct to bypass the competition?

When none of the penguins are in play any more, the game ends. The player who has collected the most fish from his/her hexagons wins. The game is designed by Alvydas Jakeliunasand Günter Cornett, and was originally released in 2003. FFG are known for their bigger brand games such as Star Wars: X-Wingand LOTR: Journey to Middle-earth, so it’s not the kind of game you would expect them to publish. For a two-player game you can use all four of your chosen colour penguins. For three players you must use three penguins each and with four player you must use two penguins each.During this step, the player takes the ice floe tile the penguin started its move from and adds the tile to his collection (placing the tile faceup in a pile in front of himself). Collecting Ice Floes Victory in Hey, That’s My Fish! is measured by a full belly: the penguin clan with the most fish at the end of the game is the winner. With a cutthroat attitude, you can outmaneuver your opponents and win the game. Hey, That’s My Fish! can also be enjoyed as an amicable contest for a family-friendly experience. From light play to a serious strategic mindset, this animated adventure is perfect for players of any experience level. After you move from your hex you take the tile you’d been standing on, thusly, where the “-” signifies a void: Since it was recently re-released by Fantasy Flight, I decided to take a look at the 2005 game Hey! That’s My Fish! In Hey! That’s My Fish! you play as a group of penguins that are trying to hoard all of the fish for themselves instead of sharing them with the other penguins. Those greedy little penguins. Despite appearing to be simple, Hey! That’s My Fish has a lot more strategy hiding beneath the surface than you would expect.
