You’re a penguin. You want to eat fish. You don’t want to be trapped on an ice floe. And, er, that’s the whole game.

Interesting Mechanic: the Collapsing Board. A turn is simple. Pick up one of your penguin, move it in a straight line, as far as you want in any direction to a connected tile, and pick up the tile where you started. That tile has fish on it – a count that is added to your score. The result is a game board that gradually shrinks and a game experience that rapidly gets claustrophobic over time. While simple, the game becomes cutthroat quickly, as you see opportunities to orphan your opponent on one corner of the map.

Hey, That’s My Fish is a simple, elegant game that even young kids should be able to pick up, but still has a surprising amount of tactical fun.  It’s worth ignoring the stupid name.
