Shrimp (2012)

About this game

In Shrimp Cocktail, players want to search the seas for matching shrimp for only when uniformly-sized shrimp are used in a dish does that dish taste its most exquisite. The shrimp on the cards have four characteristics – quantity, origin, size and color – and shrimp on different cards may share these characteristics. Whenever you catch a matching shrimp trait between the three fishing zones, act fast to squeeze the starfish so that you can haul in that catch and collect the cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
