Good morning, welcome to our series #HomeschoolWithBoardGames: Fish, Fish, Squish! from Winning Move Games. Charlie has been wanting to go Fishing.
Even though David says he would like to as well he hasn’t taken Charlie and I can’t get Granny Sherry to either. I thought it might be fun to play with Fish to give David a push into Fishing I hope.
The squish or be squished family game. Mold your own school of dough-fish and get ready to “squish” your opponents’ fish. Every three-in-a-row with the cards earns you a squish. But, stay on your fins. Everyone else is trying to squish your fish too.
- Will you be the last player with an unsquished fish?
- Start the game with your own school of fun dough fish
- Flip cards in turn, until you complete a 3-in-row
- When you do, you are awarded a free squish of any opponent’s fish
- Everyone’s trying to squish your fish too
- Last “fish” standing wins
- Age Range: 5 years and up
