• A fish.
Choose a seal with the mouth open and feed it with a fish from the
provision. The seal is no longer hungry. Close the muzzle of the fed
seal.
Important! You also have to feed seals that are not the color of
your tile. It is often the case just when the mouth of
your seal happens to be shut.
If there is no seal with its mouth open, you cannot feed any of the
seals.
Then it’s the turn of the next player to roll the die.
End of the Game
The game ends as soon as the last fish from the provision has been fed.
Now uncover your tiles. Everybody can see which seal belongs to whom.
Take the game board off the bottom part of the box. The color of the
compartments show which fish belong to which seal.
The players take the fish of their seal out of the box and count them. The
player with the most fish wins the game. In case of a draw there are
various winners.
If you cannot yet count so high, pile up your fish. The player with the
highest pile wins the game.
Solo Variation
You can play on your own against the seals.
At the beginning choose a tile, and then play according to the rules
described above.
At the end the fish of every seal are counted. You win if you have more
fish than any of the other seals.

3. I want fish!
For 2 - 4 little fish collectors ages 5+.
Or a solo variation for one single fish collector.
While being fed, the seals play a trick on the zookeeper. Giggling they
open and close their mouths. The zookeeper has to be alert as he cannot
feed a seal unless its mouth is open.
Preparation of the Game
Assemble the bottom of the box, the game board and the seal muzzles
as in game 1 “Feeding time!”.
Watch out that the game board is placed so that the colored compart-
ments match the colors of the seals on the game board.
Important! At the beginning all mouths must be open.
Gather all fish as common provisions next to the game box. Also get the
die ready next to the box.
Shuffle the tiles, face down.
Each player gets a tile and secretly has a look at it. The color indicates
which is their seal. Then place the tile face down in front of you.
Important! Don’t let anybody see your color. If during the game you
forget your color, you can take a look at your tile at any
time.
Remaining tiles are placed face down into the lid of the box. They are no
longer needed.
How to Play
Who has eaten fish most recently? You may start. If you can not agree,
the tallest player starts by rolling the die, followed by the other players in
a clockwise direction.
On the Die Appears:
• A colored seal.
Look for the seal of the corresponding color. If its mouth is closed you
can open it. If the mouth is open, close it.
