This card game from Oliver Igelhaut has fish feeding on fish. The cards show different types of fish in different sizes, from hungry to full. Players draw cards and play them to rows, with hungry fish eating everything in front of it until it meets a like fish. A fish doesn't eat its like, and instead goes to the table as a fat fish. When a player has drawn 3 cards of a kind, it can take a fat fish from the table. When the round ends, players score for the most fish in their catch.

Reportedly a good, quick filler, with English and French rules in the box (only in the Abacus Edition, the SimplyFun Edition has only English rules).

Players slip into the role of dwarves who have found a cave full of treasure. Now they take turns distributing their finds to the four treasure spaces, but the growing stacks make the dwarves more and more nervous. Should they secure their share now and make a run for it? Some dwarves are greedy and hang back, and by doing so they might miss the right moment to leave, with another player stealing their favorite treasure from right under their nose. And if the worse comes to the worst, the cave orc will catch them!

Before leaving the cave in Mein Schatz ("My Treasure"), you need to decide on a treasure stack and a treasure type, so it's important to remember where the right treasures are. It's hard to keep track, but that stack in the top right corner contains quite a lot of pearl necklaces, right? And then you try to pick a good moment to leave. Usually it pays to wait as the treasure cache will only grow in the course of the game. But keep an eye on your fellow dwarves, and watch out for that cave orc!

One player has the role of the wishing machine, and as such selects one out of nine wishes. All others play the agents who try to find out what that secret wish is. If the agents are ready, the wishing machine spits out four wishing cards and states whether or not they show the preferred item. Another set of four wishing cards and another statement follows. Who will be the first agent to guess the secret wish of the machine?

With each row of cards and statements made in Wunschmaschine, you gain new information about the secret wish of the machine. Sooner or later it will become clear what the wishing machine really wants. Depending on the distribution of the cards, you can solve the problem after just a few rows, or it may take you longer. Haste and pressure from your opponents ensure that mistakes will happen along the way – much to the other players' delight as they profit from your mishaps. To increase the level of difficulty, look for the experienced gamers variant enclosed at the end of the basic rules.

Cast off and set sail for the fishing grounds in Fish & Ships! No one knows which ships you're betting on to bring in the biggest haul, but at the same time, you're in the dark as to what the other fishermen are doing, too.

At the start of the game, each player receives seven cards from a deck of 28, with each color appearing four times. Players simultaneously pass one card to the left. The four colors of cards match the colors of ships that start in the harbor. Six cards are shuffled and laid in a row from the harbor, with each card having 0-3 fish. Each player starts with one resource cube, and 15 journey tiles are shuffled and laid face down.

On a turn, you announce that you're revealing 1-3 journey tiles — gaining a resource cube if you say 1 and paying one if you say 3. You then reveal those tiles, then move one of the ships depicted on one tile one space forward. (Alternatively, if you reveal the pirate tile, all other players must discard a resource cube.) Instead of revealing tile, you can discard one of your cards in hand face down to move one ship forward or backward one space. You cannot move a ship to the final space this way. If fewer than four tiles are face down at the start of your turn, place them all face down, shuffle them, then continue.

When a ship reaches the final space, the game ends. Each player then reveals their cards, and each card is worth as many fish as the space occupied by the ship of the same color. Whoever has caught the most total fish wins!

The ocean is bustling with many big and small fish — and also sharks. However, only the one who catches the biggest fish may keep it. When sharks show up, the big fish are in danger, so whoever then fishes for the small fish fishes best. If the species happen to match, a big catch of many fish is possible.

Hi Fisch! starts with 36 cards face down around a large sandbank tile. On ten of the cards, a shell token is placed. Each round the players flip over a card one by one. If a shark is revealed, a player has to turn another card until a numbered fish is revealed. Shell tokens are moved to the sandbank tile.

If after revealing the cards a shark card is face up, the shark eats the highest numbered fish (both cards are discarded). The player who turned over the highest numbered fish collects all shell tokens, the fish card, and all cards of the same species (if present). The remaining fish cards are turned face down again, then a new round starts.

When only six or fewer face-down fish cards are present, the game ends and the final score is calculated. Each shell or fish is one point, except for the small, hard-to-catch green fish, which are worth two. The player with the most points wins.

Against the sand timer, you've got to match off 8 dice against the cards you've been dealt. The dice show various pumpkin heads from Halloween, with different eyes, mouths and stems. Grab the dice that match your cards and pass them for checking. If you're correct, grab some sweets, but if you're wrong, your checker dumps one of their cards on you. Play some rounds and the most sweets wins.
