We fairly loved the fish tiles. They’re good and stable and enormous. Moreover, we appreciated that scoring tokens are included and these are additionally fairly thick and glossy. There’s no simple method to match every little thing into the field, nevertheless, and it’s a bit messy. The rulebook can also be a bit of imprecise over what it considers to be a spherical: is it one guesser’s flip or is it after everybody has gotten to be the guesser? However since your sport group can merely select how lengthy they need to play, that is solely a minor difficulty.
