NEPTUNE AND THE FISHES - great stacking game

NEPTUNE AND THE FISHES is a fascinating peg-and-stick game that combines strategy, tactics, and a touch of mythology. Frank Rehm discovered this two-player game in ancient archives, described it, and carefully modernized it. Its minimalist design and high-quality craftsmanship make it a true eye-catcher—ideal as a board game, wooden game, or even as a travel game.

On a compact 5 x 5 playing field, an exciting duel develops between Neptune (represented by three black pieces) and the fish (represented by a majority of white pieces). Neptune attempts to "beat" the white fish with clever moves and remove them from the board. But beware: The fish are clever! They win if they manage to line up the three black pieces horizontally or vertically. Neptune, on the other hand, triumphs when there are no more adjacent white pieces—meaning no further move is possible.

What initially sounds simple quickly reveals itself as a challenging strategy game that presents new challenges with every move. This puzzle game promotes concentration and forward planning, and its simple rules make it easy to get started quickly. Ideal for adults and children ages 10 and up.

Whether for on the go, as a gift or for cozy game evenings – NEPTUNE AND THE FISHES by ROMBOL inspires with its loving design, the original game idea and the combination of tradition and new interpretation.
