Fish for tiles in Pond and next door

The name gives a hint on the topic for this dice game, it‘s fish and fishing; each of the 36 tiles there are three colored fish and you use the color dice to try and acquire as valuable fish as possible. When three different fishes are depicted on a tile, it scores one point, two fishes of the same color score two points and a triplet of fish of the same color scores you three points.

To play you shuffle the tiles face-down and stack them; six of them are laid out open-faced to form the pond. For your first roll you use five white color dice and check the result for correlations between dice and tiles; you can take any tile whose color of fish you can match with your dice; you can use one die for several combinations on different tiles; but when there are two red fish on a tile you need two red dice! When you have taken all possible tiles, you can roll again and can add one or two grey dice to your roll, but you must turn over two tiles in the pond for each grey die you want to use and you can leave dice from your first roll on the table. You compare the result of the second rules with the pond and take those tiles that you can make up with your dice.

The next player in turn can always also take tiles from his predecessor who then turns over his remaining tiles after his successor’s turn and thus secures them. When you cannot refill the pond, you win with most points.

A simple dice game like so many others, were it not for those alluring grey dice and the fishing from your predecessor; he has three red fish, if 1 turn over those two 1-point-tiles and leave those two red dice ….
