A GAME OF DEXTERITY, MANIPULATION AND COOPERATION OBJECT: to catch fish to transfer them from one board to another. The players work together in pairs to catch a single fish, lift it up and move it into the lagoon. If the players drop a fish on the way because they bumped into one of the giant octopus’ tentacles, or for any other reason, they will have to catch the same fish again, wherever it landed. When the sand timer runs out, if all the fish have been moved to safety, the players win; otherwise, everyone has lost!

+++ A magnetic fishing game.
