Overview

Johnson’s pond isn’t that big, yet more fish are being born each year. The fish have divided up into schools and are at war. Vicious Fishes is a tile-laying game where six different schools of fish are fighting to become the dominating school of the sea. It’s better to be a big fish in a small pond, goes the old saying, and this is a small pond. Players are actively supporting a faction of fish hoping that their faction is the winner. At the same time, they are secretly betting that one faction of fish loses. Which player will back the right faction?
