Who it's for

Groups who love fast, loud real-time games with snap decisions and a bit of market chaos.

Not for you if…

You want measured, strategic play or dislike time pressure and shouting. Slower or quieter tables will not get its rhythm, and it needs three or more.

Vibe's take

Loud and brisk, a real-time scramble of snap value judgments where hesitating loses the bargain and pouncing too fast overpays.

About this game

It is dawn at the fish market and everyone is both seller and buyer, shouting deals and snapping up bargains. You want to sell your fish high and buy others low, but only the fastest hands land the best deals, and grabbing too eagerly means overpaying. Quick real-time haggling with fishy chaos.

Every player is buyer and seller at onceReal-time deals go to the fastest handsBuy low, sell high across frantic fish sets
