Description
In the sea, you can chomp or be chomped. King Fin is a quick moving game played with a colorful deck of cards numbered from 1 depicting the smallest fish and ascending to the whale at number 12. In the world of King Fin, the whale can only be chomped by the mighty numberless shark, the jellyfish are wild and the lone puffer fish in the deck is the only card that chomps a shark. A school of two fish can chomp a single larger fish and three smaller fish can chomp a school of larger fish.
To begin – deal an equal number of cards to each person until all cards are in hand. Players take turns placing a single or group of cards into the central “sea” pile. Following card plays must consist of either a smaller fish with a larger group of cards or with cards of ascending values with the same or a larger group of cards. Strategize by playing smaller fish first and clearing the largest possible pile to accumulate them in a score pile for round-end points.
Play continues until no person can place a group of the same number of cards with an ascending size of fish on the “sea” pile. The last player who successfully puts cards down collects the pile for scoring and play resumes with that player starting a new “sea” pile by placing a card or cards. The first person to play all their cards gains the largest bonus score. Bonus scores decrease with each player who clears his or her hand until one-player remains, after which the round is complete. Scores are totaled by adding the player bonuses plus any collected cards from that round. The cards are dealt again, and multiple rounds follow until someone has accumulated 100 or more points at the end of the round. The player with the most points wins.
I found this to be a delightfully charming game with beautiful pictures of sea creatures and the game experience engaging for everyone from ages 6 to adult. Kingfin requires a group of 3-6 people to play, and a game takes about 20 minutes. ~Marsha
