![]() That’s not by itself necessarily a deal breaker in this section – it’s a lot of ground to examine, but not so much that it’s impossible. That gives us a potentially significant area over which we can roam. Each of our two penguins can move in potentially six directions (assuming they’re not blocked) and as many tiles as we like in a line. Let’s say we’re the red player – our task is to either eat as many fish as we can or attempt to parcel out a portion of the game area for our exclusive exploitation. Different colours are used for different fish counts, so if visual impairment is mild the game should be playable with some support from the table. The edges of the tiles can serve as markers for counting along straight lines. The presence or absence of tiles too gives a tactile indicator that can be useful in cases of ambiguity. The board is well contrasted and if playing against a surface where gaps in the tile layout are easy to make out, you can ascertain the shape of the terrain reasonably easily. All the key information needed is visual, and there is no feasible way for players to verbalise or narrate the game state or game activity in a way that would make it playable. Visual Accessibilityįor those where total blindness must be taken into account, this is yet another game that is all but entirely inaccessible. We’ll recommend, but only just, Hey That’s My Fish in this category. You lose a not insignificant portion of the whimsy of the theme in doing that, but the game is playable. If this strategy does not suffice it’s possible to use replacement alternate markers. In the end though the penguins are only used to indicate position. Every player shares the same set of four moulds, with colour being used to differentiate them by player owner. Each player has between two and four penguin markers, and all four of these have a different visual design. Colour BlindnessĬolour blindness is going to be an issue, but it’s one that can be somewhat haphazardly addressed within the context of the game itself. Let’s just get on with it while I try to light my feet on fire to fight the frostbite. So, let’s dip our toes into the water and find out… oh God no, let’s not do that. These are the kind of issues that impact on all gamers, but this additional hassle is something we need to look at too in terms of how the game presents itself to people with accessibility considerations. If you could only get the fun stuff without the setup, it would receive a review expressed with a more generous spirit. Most of us don’t have that, yet, so we have to rate it based on our real world experience. It’s actually a decent enough game, but in order to nudge it upwards in our rating you’d need to have a dedicated board-game sommelier available to gently break it down and build it back up again after every round. Hey, That’s My Fish suffers from having an appalling setup to play time ratio and it’s one of the things that made us offer it an admittedly miserly two and a half stars in our review.
