Overview

Jin Li (??) is the Chinese word for Koi. Koi are friendly fish. They love getting close to other koi, rubbing up against each other, gathering in small groups. In Jin Li the players each control two koi in a pond. They swim their fish through the placid water, maneuvering around or jumping over stones that are dropped into the pond, and score points by getting close to any of the other koi. Be a friendly koi and score points, but don't let your opponent's koi get too friendly or you'll lose the game. Jin Li is a fishy little game that's easy to learn and fast to play.
