## Description
Imagine you're leading a group of hungry penguins on a melting iceberg. The goal is straightforward: eat as many fish as possible before you're stranded on the ice. In 'Hey, That's My Fish!', the strategy lies in the movement. Each turn, you move one of your penguins in a straight line. But here's the twist: as soon as you leave a tile, you remove that piece of ice from the board.

This creates gaps and voids that no one can cross, turning the map into a dynamic puzzle. You aren't just hunting for fish; you're actively blocking your opponents' paths and ensuring your own penguins don't get trapped. If a penguin has nowhere left to move, it's removed from play, and you still collect the tile it was standing on.

Designed by the legendary Reiner Knizia, this game is the definition of 'easy to learn, hard to master.' The rules can be explained in two minutes, but the tension of watching the ground vanish beneath your feet makes every decision critical. It's a battle of spatial awareness and planning where greed for one extra fish might leave you stranded. Perfect for those looking for a fast, competitive experience rooted in pure strategy without the randomness of dice or cards.
