Fintastic Sea

Marine biologists build thriving ocean ecosystems by collecting fish, creating combos, and playing cards. Each round, players place fish in a central grid, catch adjacent species according to the food chain, and choose whether to store them in a Reserve or add them to an Ecosystem. Fish abilities activate on the grid, while matching fish can be discarded from the Reserve to trigger additional effects. Only fish in a closed Ecosystem score Environmental Points. A moving wave shifts fish around the grid each round, changing available positions and requiring players to adapt their plans.
