Rettet die Fische is a non-competitive dice-rolling game for very young children. The board shows a pond consisting of six water tiles. On these, eighteen fish tiles of various colors are laid out. Players then take turns rolling the die. If a fish symbol is rolled, a fish of that color is removed ("saved"). If a fire symbol turns up, however, there is a fire in the village and the firefighters need water from the pond - one water tile is removed. The players win if they can rescue all the fish, they lose if the pond goes dry.
