Flossen hoch! is a kid's game about fishing with the players being penguins who waddle around looking for food. Heeeeeeeere, fishie, fishie fishie! Each player has a penguin and a set of short to long fish. Before the game begins, players place the fish into slots in the ocean's surface, with only the heads being visible. Players roll a die and play simultaneously. When a color is rolled, players have to "catch" fish of the matching color as quickly as possible. If you pick empty fishbones instead, bad luck! When a fish is rolled, each player grabs his own fish; when a shark appears, each player must save all fish of her own color. Whenever you successfully grab a fish, the length of the fish determines how far your penguin moves forward on the race track.
