About the game
What you do in a play session
Fische Fluppen Frikadellen is a trading game that puts you in the role of a merchant in a bustling town. Each player starts with a small stock of goods and aims to trade, sell, or buy items to acquire the three "fetishes" that win the game. The market is dynamic: merchants buy and sell at fluctuating prices, traders offer two items for one, and fetish dealers require specific combinations of goods. Visiting a stall triggers a special ability – from producing new items and price hikes to extra turns or swapping merchant positions – forcing you to plan routes carefully. Movement is limited by movement points, so deciding where to go and when is as crucial as what you trade. The game is played on multiple interconnected boards; with up to 15 players, you can start at one of three tables and, if needed, cross over to another to find the missing fetish. Each board has a different setup, with varying merchants and fetishes, ensuring no two games are alike. The blend of hand management, a constantly shifting market, a race to collect fetishes, and the need to traverse between maps creates a game experience that mixes strategy, luck, and bargaining in a fast-paced, engaging rhythm. If you enjoy games that require route planning, negotiation, and competition, Fische Fluppen Frikadellen offers a fun and unpredictable challenge.
