Fischmarkt (or Fish Market) is, quite literally, a game of a fish market! Players take the roles of fishmongers who have to bid for the fish on the ships that dock at the harbor, then try to sell them off to the other players based on what each players market is demanding. There is no room for mercy here. Every deal is haggled to its final dollar, every offer cut-throat. At the end, only the shrewdest bargainer will emerge as the victor with the most money, at the expense of his competitors of course!
