Played for you

Familie Fisch

Papa, Mama and twelve fish babies

At the start you sort out four Mama Fish from the 36 tiles - recognizable by their red lips - and each player chooses a Mama fish. When there are fewer than four players you take all superfluous Mama fishes together with all other fish of this or these colors out of play.

The remaining fish tiles are spread on the table or on the floor and you must now find a Papa fish and twelve baby fish corresponding to your Mama fish.

If you are the active player, you turn over two tiles. When you reveal one or two tiles showing fishes of your own color, you can keep those tiles. If you revealed one or two tiles with fishes in other colors, you put them back into the display face-down. When you turned up a fish tile and a predator fish tile you put the predator fish back into the display, but on another spot than where you took it from. The tile that you revealed together with the predator fish is set aside, open-faced, outside the display. If you turn over two predator fish at the same time, you can - if possible, because there is already one of your fish tiles set aside - take back a fish tile of your own color from aside. If you are first to have collected all fish for your family, you win!

You can vary the game by agreeing on another number of fish for your fish family, all in all you can have a maximum of 17 fish in your family. For another variant you can take predator fish that you reveal out of play, but only up to a maximum of six because two must remain in play to take fish back from aside.

A nice example of a well-varied standard mechanism - memo as usual and yet an individual cute game that even trains first counting efforts.
