Fish Eat Fish is an abstract game with a fish-eat-fish theme.
Players each receive a set of cards. Every player has the same set of cards. Players place their fish one at a time on a grid, not adjacent to another of their colors. If less than five players, purple fish fill in the empty points.
Player moves a fish then attacks a fish. Combat occurs by each player selecting a card from their hand and laying it face-down. Flip the cards, then the highest number wins. An octopus negates combat. A shark always wins. And ties cause the destruction of both fish. The winner stacks his fish over the loser. The played cards get removed from the game.
A stack bigger than five gets reduced to five, and the rest get added to the player's score.
When only one fish remains, the stack gets added to the owner's score, and the game ends.
The highest score wins.
The grid is a regular game board with simple but effective artwork. The fish are plastic and stackable. There is also a decorative plastic starfish to indicate where fish are fighting.
