Let Them Eat Fish

Hey, That’s My Fish! is a game for 2-4 players from Fantasy Flight Games (FFG). Players take turns using their waddle of penguins to outmanoeuvre their opponents and catch as many fish as they can without being trapped on an ice floe!

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.On each player's turn, the player moves one of his/her penguins in a straight line as far as he/she wishes, as long as there is a continuous line of vacant hexagons between the penguin's starting and destination hexagons. Penguins can't jump over empty space or other penguins. The hexagon that the penguin started from is then removed from play, becoming the player's property.
