GIFT IDEA – TWISTED FISH
About Twisted Fish
The old game of go fish just got a very challenging twist. It isn’t child’s play any more! Twisted Fish takes a traditional standby and casts it into the 21st century. 13 unique Fish characters in five different colors, plus 8 unique “Zingers” that allow you to break the rules, makes “Twisted Fish” a unique game experience. The real challenge takes place when asking for the fish cards you are collecting—Now you have to be specific about the type of fish and color you are seeking. “Twisted Fish” challenges you to remember every question asked at the table. It is challenging and fun right down to the very last card!
Uncle Luc visited this weekend so naturally hubby and I decided to have some fun and play some games with him. It was a blast. Since I had been sent the card game Twisted Fish, it was one of the first things we put on the table. It is a variation of the old Go Fish, except players make groups of five instead of pairs. Best of all it only costs only $10.00.
Rules are simple and up to six (ages 10 and up) can play. Winning requires concentration, memory, and a tad of bluffing. To mix things up, the deck includes zinger cards for lure net, no fishing, divine intervention, joker, glass bottom boat, dead scuba diver, the game warden, and 2-fisted fisherman. What I liked best was the artwork straight from Hollywood. Every fish is true comic art designed to bring smiles and giggles. Barracuda, Barnacle Blowfish, Card Shark, Clownfish, Crab, Dogfish, Eel, Flying Fish, Hammerhead, Jellyfish, Shrimp, Starfish, Whale, are great play and play on words.
Twisted Fish is available online from McNeil Designs for $10.00 plus shipping, as well as in select stores across the nation.
WIN IT!
One winner will receive the Twisted Fish game.
HOW TO ENTER. (MANDATORY)
To enter check out the Twisted Fish rules page and tell me what any one of the zinger cards does.

Dead Scuba Diver — Play anytime. This card completes a basket of four, substituting as the fifth card to create a Full Basket. This card adds 0 points during final scoring. During any subsequent turn, a player may add the “sixth card” to his Full Basket (the card that Dead Scuba Diver originally replaced) and discard the Dead Scuba Diver.
Sounds like a wild game

“THE NET” card: plays at the start of your turn (and this counts AS your turn) and basically you can be non-specific in asking for a card, so if you ask for a “Shark”, that person has to give you any shark card he/she has.
Sounds like fun!

The zinger card allows players to flout the rules, steal their opponent’s cards, and even look at another player’s cards.
