Big Potato Sounds Fishy: The Fast-Thinking, Bluffing Family Board Game for Kids 10+ and Adults — Best New Board Games, Family Quiz Games, Trivia Games, Board Games for Groups of People

It’s fun to play this board game with friends, had a wonderful time and will sure enjoying this game in future.

We bought this game to take on our annual family vacation. Seven grown up couples ages 24 - 57 had a great time playing this game. Basically, there are question cards with weird answers that sound preposterous. The person asking the question holds the question card up in front of them while they read it and everyone else playing can see the answer on the back. Everyone in the game except for the person reading the question has drawn a fish which look the same on the back and are all one color on the front EXCEPT for one fish card face is blue - the person that draws blue fish card (you don’t let anyone see which fish face you have) has to give the answer written on the back of the card which is the truth or real answer and everyone else has to make up an answer that sounds true or one that sounds as crazy as the real answer. It took us a couple rounds to get the hang of it and the game became more entertaining as we went along. We played for a couple of hours. We started with four of us playing and were having so much fun people kept joining in until we couldn’t fit anyone else into the game - then we just doubled up and played as couples. Super entertaining and once you really get the hang of it you can strategize to help keep the person from guessing which one of you is telling the truth. The person reading the question listens to everyone’s answers then picks the fish up in front of each player they think is lying one at a time then the person with the blue fish that’s saying the real or correct answer last. There are point coins you win for picking the liars out - and you can lose those if you pick the blue fish person as a liar and you can win point coins if you have a blue fish and are telling the truth but get accused of being a liar or if you are still holding your fish during the round after the blue fish was picked. There are variations to the game for winning and losing point coins. Even the people in our family who don’t normally like to play games with us ended up hanging out then wanted into the game. The game was definitely worth the money. There are two packs of question cards that are double sided - two questions and two answers per card and the fish cards are made from a type of nice thick cardboard but are bendable - which did happen to the ONLY blue fish so we ended up bending them all in the same spot so you couldn’t tell which one was the blue fish. You can play several rounds pretty quickly and stop the game when you run out of money or whenever you feel like it. People can quit or take a break during a game and it doesn’t affect the game and they can join back in without affecting anyone so it’s super flexible. The game box is small enough it’s easy to pack and it will be one that I take every year from here on out. Hopefully by the time we get through all the questions the card company will have extra sets of new game cards. I think this game is best suited for middle school and up not really for grade school kids.

Es un juego de mesa divertido, un poco complicado pues debes saber inglés!

Great game, but can’t replay it much since it is fact based.

We love this game! It’s fun to be creative with the answers to “fool” the guesser.
