Hey, that's my fish! is in Beta

Aloha players!

Hey that's my fish! is a game designed by Günter Cornett & Alvydas Jakeliunas, illustrated by Chris Quilliams, Émeline D’Aoust, Martin Roy & Adrian Harper and published by Next Move Games.

The ice is breaking up!
Grab all the fish you can before they slip away. If you don’t, another penguin will. It’s every penguin family for itself.
Your penguins must race across the rapidly dwindling ice floe to collect the juiciest fish and block off their rivals.
But your penguins better stay alert! If a penguin gets stuck on an ice floe, he’s done.

Rules are available here:

This classic has been around since 2003 — and it’s still a blast to play!
Want to shake things up? Try the two new variants: Sleepy Penguins and Pushing Penguins!



Enjoy !

Cool! What do the variant options for sleepy or pushy penguins do?

Thanks! Not sure I'll be playing the pushing variant, but the sleeping penguins have potential.

Are you a game designer ?

I like the implementation, except that the one-fish and two-fish tiles look too similar. It takes a lot longer to get a feel for the board than it does in the Yucata implementation, where one glance suffices.

Also, you should see what your opponent's last move was.

Actually, that’s already the case.

Not in the turn based game I played. Want a screenshot?
