Sheila Shark

Ink clouds Sheila’s vision

Little girl shark Sheila is threatening the colorful fish in the coral reef. Tinto the Octopus is helping them with ink to cloud Sheila’s vision. Sheila is set down, with nine puzzle pieces next to her. The board is set down, nine blue fish, numbered 1 to 9, are laid out next to it and three fish of a kind are set down in each of the four quarters of the board.

You roll the die: If you roll a blue octopus symbol you may turn over a fish in the plan segment indicated by the number next to the octopus. If the fish shows an ink spot on its backside, you may place one of the nine puzzle parts into Sheila’s shark shape. When you roll Sheila, all players must call “Hai- Alarm” and the active player turns the shark spinner. The active player then turns over a fish in the segment indicated by the spinner: If the fish shows an ink spot at the back, you can again place a part of the Sheila puzzle. If the fish does not show an ink spot, Sheila catches a fish and the active player takes the blue fish with the lowest number. All players may always give advice on which fish to turn over. When you manage to fill Sheila completely with all nine puzzle parts before Sheila has caught all nine blue fish the winner is whoever holds fewest blue fish.

In a variant you add three puzzle parts without ink spot to the stock of puzzle parts; if you pick up one of those parts you may not place it.

Sheila Shark offers a very nice background story for a rather simple memo game. If the numbers on the blue fish are disregarded, even four-year old children can play the game on their own.
