Things I'm digging

For Christmas the family got a couple of gifts from Santa to enjoy together. Sometimes it is hard for Santa to do this because my kids are seven years apart. I have to say he did a pretty good job this year.

Big Fish Lil' Fish is geared to kids between the age of 4 and 12. You can play the full version, which is great for Trev, or the "younger kids" version, which is great for Stinky.

Basically you deal all the cards out to all the players, like you would if you were playing war. There are 4 different color cards. Purple, orange, blue and green. They are number 1-48 and you get 4 puffer fish for each color.

The "pond" is the discard pile that is placed in the middle of all the players.

The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards. Easy enough. But wait, you have to follow 4 simple "fishing" rules.

#1 Big fish eat little fish
#2 Fish of the same color can not eat each other
#3 Puffer fish swim with fish of the same color
#4 No fish can eat a Puffer fish.

Of course there is a little more to it than this, but I am not going to type out the whole instruction sheet. I think I gave you enough to get the idea.

This game is fun and fast. Most important any one can play. Babe played AND enjoyed it. That is very impressive in my book.

So if you are looking for a fun family game I would have to recommend this. I give it Rhonda's stamp of approval.

Thanks you and Good night.
