Board Game - The Fish is Growing!

In this board game, you will have to grow your fish and catch the fish of your opponents. Explore the depths of the sea, hide in sunken ships, and feed your fish. Try not to encounter the octopus: its tentacles... are very dangerous for your little charges. Who will first discover all the secrets of the underwater world and catch all the opponents' fish? Roll the dice, an exciting quest begins!
 
Goal of the game:
Be the first to catch 9 fish from your opponents.
 
Preparation for the game:
Cut the tokens cards along the dotted line. Shuffle the sea mystery cards thoroughly and place them next to the game board face down.

Each player chooses fish tokens (12 tokens each) and a catch counter card of one color. Place the counter cards face up on the table in front of you. Select three tokens with the smallest fish and place them on empty cells on the game board: each player occupies three empty cells around the perimeter of the board on one side.

Players choose their tokens and place them next to their catch counter card.

To determine the order of play, players take turns rolling the dice. The player who rolls the highest number goes first. Then play continues clockwise.
 
Gameplay:
On their turn, a player rolls the dice and moves any of their fish tokens on the board the rolled number of spaces in any direction except diagonally. A player may only move one of their tokens per turn.

Depending on the cell where the token stops, the player performs actions as indicated in the instructions.

Growing Fish
Grow your fish from small to large. If you do not have free tokens of the appropriate size, it means you cannot grow your fish at this moment.

Sea Mystery Cards
Draw the top sea mystery card from the deck if you land on the corresponding cell of the game board. Depending on the image on the card, perform the actions indicated in the instructions.

If the cards in the deck run out and there is still no winner, shuffle the discard pile and place it face down next to the game board. The game continues!

Catching Fish
Catch your opponents' fish to win. In order to catch a fish, your token must land on a cell that already has an opponent's fish.

- A small fish cannot catch other fish.
- A medium fish can only catch small fish from opponents.
- A large fish can catch all opponents' fish.

The player whose fish has been caught removes the token from the game board and places it next to their other free tokens.

The player who catches a fish moves their token one division on the catch counter.
 
Ending the game and determining the winner:
The game ends when one of the players moves their token to the number 9 on their catch counter and becomes the winner! If a player has no fish left on the board, they are out of the game and considered a loser. If all players except one are out, the last remaining player wins.
