Sounds Fishy

We bought this game to take on our annual family vacation. Seven grown up couples ages 24 - 57 had a great time playing this game. Basically, there are question cards with weird answers that sound preposterous. The person asking the question holds the question card up in front of them while they read it and everyone else playing can see the answer on the back. Everyone in the game except for the person reading the question has drawn a fish which look the same on the back and are all one color on the front EXCEPT for one fish card face is blue - the person that draws blue fish card (you don’t let anyone see which fish face you have) has to give the answer written on the back of the card which is the truth or real answer and everyone else has to make up an answer that sounds true or one that sounds as crazy as the real answer. It took us a couple rounds to get the hang of it and the game became more entertaining as we went along. We played for a couple of hours. We started with four of us playing and were having so much fun people kept joining in until we couldn’t fit anyone else into the game - then we just doubled up and played as couples. Super entertaining and once you really get the hang of it you can strategize to help keep the person from guessing which one of you is telling the truth. The person reading the question listens to everyone’s answers then picks the fish up in front of each player they think is lying one at a time then the person with the blue fish that’s saying the real or correct answer last. There are point coins you win for picking the liars out - and you can lose those if you pick the blue fish person as a liar and you can win point coins if you have a blue fish and are telling the truth but get accused of being a liar or if you are still holding your fish during the round after the blue fish was picked. There are variations to the game for winning and losing point coins. Even the people in our family who don’t normally like to play games with us ended up hanging out then wanted into the game. The game was definitely worth the money. There are two packs of question cards that are double sided - two questions and two answers per card and the fish cards are made from a type of nice thick cardboard but are bendable - which did happen to the ONLY blue fish so we ended up bending them all in the same spot so you couldn’t tell which one was the blue fish. You can play several rounds pretty quickly and stop the game when you run out of money or whenever you feel like it. People can quit or take a break during a game and it doesn’t affect the game and they can join back in without affecting anyone so it’s super flexible. The game box is small enough it’s easy to pack and it will be one that I take every year from here on out. Hopefully by the time we get through all the questions the card company will have extra sets of new game cards. I think this game is best suited for middle school and up not really for grade school kids.

Game arrived quickly. It is fun and easy to play.

Perfect for large groups. Our three-generation family of nine loves board games. This was our favorite new game. It is fast and fun. You need someone to be the “banker” to distribute the coins that you earn. There should be more coins because the banker had to keep replacing multiple small coins with a larger denomination.

What a fantastic game! My family (ages 13 - 74) played this game on Christmas night. We had a great time and laughed all during the game. We were so entertained that we forgot to keep score.

Great game! My friends and I enjoyed this game for its ease of playability and fun facts. There are enough cards for hours of playtime! My only complaint is the Fish themselves. Our Blue Fish was damaged upon removal from the cutout. This damage caused the guesser to be able to know exactly who had the Blue Fish. If the Fish were made out of another material (say, plastic), this would not be an issue. In the end, we used playing cards instead of the Fish.

A fun family bluffing game! Quick and easy to play.

I wish I could do more starts on this game. Buy it. You will enjoy it over and over and over. My teenage son bought me this for christmas. At first I thought it would be like cards against humanity or apples to apples but it really is a fresh take. Super fun. We played it with multiple families over the christmas break and two of them have now gotten their own set. The only downside is we hae played it so much I am nervious to run out of cards. They game comes with two separate set of cards and we have already gone through both sides of the first deck. Super fun. Get this game.

Fun game for family. Easy for a variety of ages, plus it’s interesting to watch how easily some people make up answers!

Fun game. Played it with some young adults and it was a hit. Would deffos recommend it

This an excellent group game. Lots of laughs.

It’s fun to play this board game with friends, had a wonderful time and will sure enjoying this game in future.

Hay un gran parecido entre este juego y el Snakesss de la misma editorial (Big Potato Games), pero este es como una versión un poco más simple y rápida. Es súmamente interesante con sus trivias inesperadas, también al estilo de Wits & Wagers. El único detalle que advertiría a posibles compradores es que se juegue realmente una ronda o no más de 10 cartas por partida, ya que de lo contrario se quemará/agotará el mazo demasiado pronto, y aunque son 50 preguntas, es fácil recordar las respuestas una vez que se vuelven a leer, por lo que se volverá inservible por un largo tiempo.

Es un juego de mesa divertido, un poco complicado pues debes saber inglés!
