If there are 3 players you use 3 counters each and if there are 4 players you use 2 counters each. If you are playing with 3 or 4 players you use less penguin counters each. We had 2 people playing which meant we could use 4 of our penguin character counters each. Next you choose how many people are playing the game, 2, 3 or 4 players, and then you pick your penguin colour. The more you play the game and the more you start playing it strategically it will become more important to make sure the tiles are evenly distributed so that you can make sure neither player has an unfair advantage. Ideally you should make sure that the ice floe tiles with one, two and three fish should be more or less evenly distributed amongst the grid of tiles but we didn’t really pay much attention to this at first. and you will end up with a random grid of hexagonal tiles. The lines need to be in a sequence of 8 tiles, 7 tiles, 8 tiles, 7 tiles etc. Basically you just need to shuffle the tiles and then lay them all down in an interlocking grid on the table (like the photo above). Game set up is really easy but does takes a few minutes. Blue, Red and Yellow)) and a rule sheet……that’s it! Not loads of complex pieces that you have no idea what to do with – just a load of hexagons and some plastic penguin characters! That’s my kind of game! ? You get 60 smallish hexagonal Ice Floe tiles (each one has an illustration on it of either, 1, 2 or 3 fish), 16 penguin counters (4 of each colour – Green. The image above shows the contents of the box. However she was so eager to start playing the game (I think the fun images of the penguins and ice floes on the box made her excited about the prospect of playing the game) that I had no choice but to read the instructions straight away so we could have a game! Basically the winner of the game is the player that collects the most fish using their penguins! Sounds simple…but is it?! To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about playing the game at first because I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to play as it was so unlike other games my daughter and I had played together before. Amazon UK are selling it here > The game is described by Asmodee as “an engaging, award-winning board game of strategic fish hunting, in which 2-4 players control determined penguins hungry for their next meal on a bustling Antarctic ice floe.” It retails at £14.99 and it can be bought from many different retailers – both on the high street and online.

My first choice of game, which I am reviewing today, is ‘ Hey, That’s My Fish!‘ by ‘ Fantasy Flight Games‘. When the opportunity came about to be part of the Asmodee UK Blogger Board Game Club (organised by Playtime PR) I jumped at the chance! I was given the chance to select 3 board games from a huge list they supplied me with and then fingers crossed I would get my choices sent to me. I think a lot of this is because I home educate my daughter and I personally feel that board games can be educational but fun at the same time….a winning combination!

Nothing beats playing a board game with friends and family!
