Object of the Game:
Play one FISH card that no opponent can kill.
How to Play:
This game is not played in turns. Players may play cards
onto the discard pile at any time. Players only draw cards if
they invoke the Flint Flush rule explained later.
Set-Up:
• Oldest player deals first. Rotate dealer clockwise in
subsequent games.
• For 3 to 6 players: Deal 7 cards to each player, face down.
• For 2 players: Deal 10 cards to each player, face down.
• Players should not look at their cards until instructed to
do so by the dealer.
• Place the remaining cards face down on the table to
form a draw pile.
Start of Play:
After the dealer places the remaining cards (draw pile) in
the middle of the playing area, he/she exclaims “What the
Fish!”, which signals everyone to pick up and look at their
cards.
The fastest person to place a FISH card face up on the table
(this starts the discard pile) starts the game.
Fish
(Teal cards):
The only way to win the game is to have a FISH card that
swims to freedom (does not get killed). Every player
continually looks for the chance to play one of his/her FISH
cards at one of three times during the game:
1. Start of Play.
2. After a Dead FISH.
3. When someone plays a Beaver Buddha WTF card.
(A player can only play one FISH card at a time.)
