Paul: –like the unseen but ever-implied gaping beakholes of the penguin children that exist somewhere off-board in this game, children that press you to carefully consider every one of your turns. They represent pure, unadulterated consumerism in its rawest and most amoral form– It is also deceptively thoughtful, abstract even. And the way this this game puts four people into such close quarters and forces them to constantly cut each other off is the essence of all competitive boardgaming. Kids rules and cartoon animals are excellent. Have I… have I gone wrong?īrendan: You have not gone wrong, Paul. Paul: But then why did we just have such a good game of it? The first time I saw the box, I rolled my eyes, all cartoon animals and kid rules, but I’ve played it several times now and, actually, I’ve really enjoyed it. Because, really, I know nothing about penguin mating.īrendan: Yes. Even more shocked than I am by that link. Paul: So, hold on… is that it? Is that the entire game immediately explained in a couple of paragraphs? I’m shocked.
And the other penguins were probably horrid Adélies. But you should not feel bad, as the person with the most fish at the end of the game wins.
You have probably left your foes isolated on a small island of cheap baitfish, where they will waddle uselessly from one end to the other collecting whatever scraps they can. Once all the penguins are stuck and nobody can make any more moves, the game ends. Presumably, you’re ramming them down the beaks of your penguin children, children that are not themselves depicted because, like all children, they are fundamentally a source of shame and must remain unseen.īrendan: What? Anyway, with luck, your penguins will go sliding around the board, hoovering up all the fish and leaving your competition stranded on small blocs with not-very-many fish. They move these in straight lines, travelling as many tiles as they like, and pick up the tile they last stood on, claiming its fish as their own.Īnd leaving a great, big, hex-shaped hole in the board. The board is all wee hexagonal tiles, each with one to three fish on them, and every player has some lovely little coloured penguins. Paul: Actually… yes, and I think you’ve got the nugget of it right away. Is that correct, Paul? Am I reviewing the game correctly? 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. Paul: That’s good! Because I just asked you if you wanted to review it would you get with the program please okay I’m going to insert a page break and we’re getting down to this and I want a lot less of your attitude today because frankly-īrendan: Fish! Hey, That’s My Fish is a game for 2-4 penguins. Melting, probably from global warming, but still cold. It is cold because we have been playing Hey, That’s My Fish, which is a game set on some melting ice. Paul: Why is your hood up? I am asking you this question to highlight that your hood is up because our readers, at home, cannot see how you have decided to array your attire.īrendan: My hood is up because it is cold. Paul: Would you like to get together and review Hey, That’s My Fish!? 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.
