Got Questions?
Gameplay
What happens if an effect can't activate (e.g. no coins to steal)?
Nothing happens! It is as if you didn't have an effect to activate.
Can I choose not to use a fish's effect?
Only if it says "may" in the effect text.
Who wins if we end up with the same amount of treasure?
Rank breaks ties in Small Fishes :3
A squid isn't a fish!?! A whale isn't a fish!?!
You're right! But in Small Fishes, all the sea creatures are fishies.
Can power go below 0?
Yes.
Customizability
Can I hide my hand count and treasure count?
Yes. We actually recommend hiding your treasure total until the end!
Can we play with more/less Encounter and Treasure cards?
Feel free to customize! You can shorten the game by adding fewer Treasures, and you can choose to play only your favourite Encounters.
Card Specific
Can I use my Angelfish on a different Angelfish?
No. When a card says its own name in its effect (e.g. Angelfish, Beluga Whale), that effect refers specifically to that particular card.
When does a replaced fish activate? (Goblin Shark / Beluga Whale)
It activates after being swapped. Treat the new card like it has Speed 1.
How does Nurse Shark work?
Nurse Shark only prevents effects that say "choose a fish."
