About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine you just landed your first job at Bette’s Pets, the trendiest pet shop in town! But forget about just stocking shelves or working the cash register. Bette has arrived with a massive shipment of Betta fish and decided the best way to sell them is by turning the work into an organizational challenge. Get ready to show off your aquatic design skills! Your goal is to arrange 3x3 displays using your pieces to satisfy customer demands. There are six specific patterns that shoppers love, so focus on creating these shapes to secure your score. Also, a pro tip: the customers love color! The more you can concentrate a single color within a display, the higher your sales bonus will be. It's a game of pure visual reasoning and resource management, where you must decide whether to use a piece now or save it to complete a more valuable pattern later. The game ends when the displays are full or when someone runs out of pieces. In the end, whoever has the best eye for aesthetics and organization wins the most profit for the shop!
