Hey, That’s My Fish is the board-gaming equivalent of a potentially great TV show littered with ad-breaks for aluminium siding, PPI claims services, and discount coffins. Those kinds of short burst games work best when you can rapidly and effortlessly burn through a few sessions in a row to get the excitement building. It’s short and simple enough to be a marvelous gateway to more complex games of chess-style positioning and leveraging tactical advantage. It’s potentially an ideal filler game for mixed audiences, but requires too much upfront investment to really lend itself to a recommendation there. That is a real shame too, because I would like this game a lot more if I had more of a reason to break it out of the box. At the end you’re either just going to put it away or spend most of the advertised play-time placing awkward hexes next to other awkward hexes before you actually get to have any more fun. It’s hard to forget that it’s all over and done with very quickly. The game itself is perfectly engaging and worth your attention for the time you’re playing it. But again I come back to the point I made earlier in this review – there’s a lot of tedious setup that goes into a game that’s over in five or ten minutes. It’s good, for what it is – it’s very enjoyable. It’s hard to justify spending our flickering light on a game with such a skewed perspective on the value of your time. We’re all brief candles between two immensities of darkness. Who wants to do that on a regular basis? None of us, surely. At the end you’ll be confronted once more with the administrative chore of setting up the tiles before you can play again. That’s a big problem here because play-time is very brisk – you’ll often be done with a round of the game in ten minutes. Unfortunately, Hey That’s My Fish represents an unusually poor way to maximise the value of the scant remaining hours you have before the grave takes you, This is a game that needs you to invest as much time in setup as it does in play. Given the looming apocalypse on the horizon, it’s vital that we all try to wring everything we can out of every moment put in front of us. They deserve a few years of dumbly uncomprehending happiness before they die in their millions during the inevitable water wars of the near future. That’s good, because this is a game aimed in part at kids. A troubling conversation about the imminence of an extinction level event need not be part of the rules or the context of play.

You’d probably be happier not troubling yourself with it. Confronting the unfortunately grim subtext of drowning penguins and Antarctic erosion is not a necessary prerequisite to play.

It manages to straddle the line between being uncomplicated to play and yet challenging to win. It’s mechanically simple and yet possessed of a fair degree of tactical depth. Hey, That’s My Fish is pretty much exactly as light and breezy as it appears.
