Hey, that's my fish!




This a small post on a nice and easy to play game called  Hey, that's my fish!

The game can be played with up to four players. The aim of the game is to catch the most fish before the ice floe tiles disappear.


Set up
This game i will show here is a three players game. The Ice floe board is shuffled and then placed down in rows, this means that the boards are always different. After that the penguins are then now placed.

The teams collecting the fish are the :

  • The Green team
  • The Red team 
  • The Blue team.
 (The yellow team have been left out in this game)

The different colours and poses for the counters

The starting Ice floe tiles

The Ice floe tiles have one of three values either 1-3 fish



Starting places
Each penguin starts on a ice floe tile with only one fish.

 Turn one

Each player takes a turn moving one of their penguins. A penguin can move as many spaces in a turn but can only move in a straight line. After a penguin moves the player picks up the ice floe that the penguin started its move from, and adds he ice to the players cache.


Before the move

After the move, the tile it left has been removed and added to players stash.


The Ice floes slowly disappear.


A penguin is stranded on an ice floe.

The available ice floes becomes scarce.

Once all penguins can't move the game ends and the players then add up their collected fish.

Finishing places with a few ice floes unattainable.



Now it was time to count up the fish that were picked up.

The end score: 

  • Green: 30 Fish
  • Red: 35 Fish
  • Blue: 31 Fish


The Winner is the Red team with the most fish 

The red penguins and their stash.

Go Penguins!!!

This weeks booster.
Each week you are allowed to add to your sideboard one Gatecrash booster. 
Last week i added Drakewing Krasis card to my forty card deck from my booster pack and took out Nimbus swimmer. In this week i decided not to buy an extra pack. i felt that even though the deck failed to perform as good as it had in earlier weeks, i felt a new booster really would give me nothing that would really enhance it that far. So no changes to the deck this week.


Week five


So this week ends the five week gatecrash league.
Each week i am allowed to play three games that add scores for the league result.
Week one ended with me gaining six points
Week two ended with me gaining another six points 
Week three ended with me gaining seven points
Week four ended with me gaining three points 

After week four i had a total league point score of 22.



Game One

Dimir deck
Result  2-1 Victory


Game Two
A Gruul deck

An enchanted disciple of the old ways with Madcap skills won both games, with the ability to first strike for one red mana, and has to be blocked by fewer than two creatures, i just couldn't keep creatures on the battlefield long enough.
With this creature enchanted it became a 5/2 and i had to block when i could as i could really only take four strikes before i was defeated.

Result  0-2 defeat

Game three

There wasn't a game three of the final week as most people play had dissolved their league deck into their constructed decks. This left me with no players to play.  I followed suit and dissolved my deck into my collection.

Week five total league points 2


This weeks booster.
Each week you are allowed to add to your sideboard one Gatecrash booster. 
As this is the last week of the league i had no reason to buy an additional booster. So no changes to the deck this week.


Final result: 24 points


Token prize


Everyone who took part in the Gatecrash league received a copy of this alternative art Boros soldier token.
