Somethin' Fishy (2004)

About this game

This card game from Oliver Igelhaut has fish feeding on fish. The cards show different types of fish in different sizes, from hungry to full. Players draw cards and play them to rows, with hungry fish eating everything in front of it until it meets a like fish. A fish doesn't eat its like, and instead goes to the table as a fat fish. When a player has drawn 3 cards of a kind, it can take a fat fish from the table. When the round ends, players score for the most fish in their catch. Reportedly a good, quick filler, with English and French rules in the box (only in the Abacus Edition, the SimplyFun Edition has only English rules).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
