Thats My Fish, but I worry about AP with a more elaborate version. At least one member of my group is very slow. Plus I always win at H!TMF, so I might struggle to convince the others to play a longer version. I really like Hey! Thats My Fish, but I worry about AP with a more elaborate version.

It would be quite easy to produce a cheap or free print and play version. You'd just need a nice image for the board, poker chips, meeples and a few cubes.

A new edition - which would be most welcome - would need a better, more captivating theme. It can't be abstract, which might be best for the game, as a multi-player themeless abstract sounds like a commercial suicide. Another problem is that the game really shines with four and doesn't work quite as well with other counts.
