Too long have Geeklists paid homage to the standard creatures of the world. At last, a collossus colussus has risen up to take its rightful place at the top of the animal-in-games tree. The mighty PENGUIN!!!

Games about penguins, or with penguins please.

Oh yes, this game has the stupidest US title, but it's now the best penguin based game out there. Strange that all the fish is lying on top of the ice. And strange that the penguins won't go into the water. Maybe the water got polluted or something and the fish jumped out and the penguins know this and won't go in the water.

Actually, I think it's a very catchy title.

This is a great game.
I thought the title was dumb too, until I played it. It fits.

I love this game, it's my favorite filler now, although I prefer it with only 2 player, but it scales up decently to 4. I suppose part of why I like it is because it has no luck, which is what draws me to games like Through the Desert and Caylus.

Anyway, I put off getting this for a months because of the title though. I like the name Pingvinas, and I don't mind Packeis am Pol, but Hey That's My Fish is just about the worst title ever in my opinion, I still refuse to refer to it as that. I'm glad I finally caved in and got the game though despite the title.

Great little game that's managed to build quite a devoted fan following. I enjoy playing it, and the title doesn't bother me.

I have always ejoyed the Russian version of the game who's title is a (to me) meaningless string of Cyrillic letters which translate to "That F%#*ing Fish Is Mine!".

I'm sure you would prefer the soon-to-be-released U.K. version, "I Beg Your Pardon, But I Believe The Fish In Question Is In Fact Mine By All Rights".

No, the English version is called "Oh, I am terribly sorry, I thought that fish was mine. No, please, go ahead. No, no, I insist. No, you were first, please have it. Well, if you're sure. I'm quite happy to share. Are you sure? Well, okay then, but I don't want to deprive you. Well thank you very much. No, thank you. You're very welcome. Cheerio.......Bastard, he knew that fish was mine."

Almost right. I believe - and pardon me if I offend you in any way, which is certainly not my intention, but I felt I just had to point out, in an inoffensive way as possible, that the title is, in fact:

"Oh, I am terribly sorry, I thought that fish was freely available. No, please, go ahead. No, no, I insist. No, you were first, please have it. Well, if you're sure. I'm quite happy to share. Are you sure? Well, okay then, but I don't want to deprive you. Well thank you very much. No, thank you. You're very welcome. Cheerio.......Bastard, he knew that fish was mine."

Don't be confused by the identical box covers, this is a totally different game.

Well, near-identical - they have shifted the picture elements a little. Still, lazy as lazy gets. :what:
