Once all the penguins are gone, the game is over. If this happens then these tiles are removed but they don’t get added to anyone’s score pile. You can also end up with tiles that no one can get to. You can only move one of your penguins per turn, and if they get trapped on a tile with no place to go they get removed from the board, along with the tile they are standing on (which you add to your score pile). So as you play the game the tiles will slowly disappear. The tile that your penguin started from is picked up and added to your score pile. The object of the game is to have the most fish in your score pile when the game ends in order to win. You want to place your penguin on a tile that has the most fish pictured on it as these will end up getting added to your score pile. They can only move in a straight line, but in any direction, kind of like a queen in chess. Players take turns jumping a penguin from one tile to another one. They can only be placed on a tile that shows one fish in this initial set up. After the layout is set up the players take turns setting up their penguins on one of the tiles one by one until all the penguins are placed. The tiles look like little ice flows and each has from one up to three fish pictured on them.
One hint, make sure you leave a little space between each tile so that both little and big fingers can pick up a tile without messing up the whole layout. You don’t have to do a square shape, you can really do whatever you want but they suggest starting with the square and changing it as you wish after you know how the game works.
This is the only part of the game that’s a pain, as you have to remake the board each time you play and it takes a couple of minutes. Then you create the board by arranging all 60 hexagon tiles in an approximate square shape. To begin, each player selects a penguin color and gets the four penguins of that color. The only other components to the game are the 60 thick tiles that make up the game board. The Mayfair deluxe edition is $30.00 at the Mayfair website.Įach of the cute little penguins is in it’s its own slot inside the box. Let me point out however that the Fantasy Flight Games version is only $12.95 and comes in a much smaller box. The second reason is that the Mayfair version is still available, and I wanted the deluxe edition. The FFG version does use new sculpts that I like, but I still prefer the Mayfair penguins. The FFG version has the penguins in one solid player color, which is fine, but they aren’t as cool looking. So they have backs and flippers in the player color, orange beaks and feet, and white bellies. There are two reasons for this, the principal one being that the Mayfair version comes with 16 high quality three-toned penguins in the four different player colors. Instead, I chose the Mayfair Games Deluxe Edition. The current version is the one published by Fantasy Flight Games, but I didn’t get the FFG version. This game has been around for almost ten years and has been published by an array of companies. Hey! That’s My Fish! is a classic so I thought it was high time I told everyone else about it. It has been a while since I have reviewed a children’s game. Game Name: Hey! That’s My Fish! Deluxe 2 nd Editionĭesigners: Günter Cornett and Alvydas Jakeliunas
