Nature / Type: Card game
Who would love this: Kids that love speed/ reaction-based spotting games
We’ve played plenty of reaction-based spotting games before—they’re always a big hit in our family. But Big Fish Little Fish from Format Games takes the challenge (and the giggles) to a whole new level.
Why I love ❤️ this game:
(1) Speedy Game - Sharp Reflexes + Quick Thinking
This is a speedy game of sharp reflexes and quick thinking. Each card shows 10 quirky items across 4 colours—but the twist comes from the symbol on the back of the next card, which sets one of 6 conditions: spot the biggest thing in the world (big Earth), the smallest thing (small Earth), the item that appears the most (four dots), the item that appears the least (one dot), the colour shown the most (multi-colour dots), or the colour shown the least (single-colour dot). Flip a card, reveal the condition, and race to shout the answer! It sounds easy, but the wacky illustrations love to confuse you—we kept calling out the biggest object drawn, instead of the biggest in the reality. Add in colour-count mix-ups and you’ve got chaos! Fast, fun, and packed with laughter, this game kept everyone alert and giggling.
(2) Big Fish & Little Fish - Game With A Twist!
So why the name Big Fish Little Fish? Here’s the twist! If a card shows a Big Fish or Little Fish, players must drop the usual rules and shout ‘BIG FISH!’ (with hands wide apart) or ‘LITTLE FISH!’ (hands close together). The fastest player wins the card—and gets to steal one from the slowest! It’s not just a speed game now—it’s quick thinking plus fast-moving hands, adding an extra layer of chaos.
(3) Add Penalty Points To Spice Up The Game
Want to spice it up? Add penalty points (as long as no one’s a sore loser!). Shout a wrong answer and you’ll lose a card from your won pile to the centre. The fastest correct player then wins those extra cards. Miss a Big or Little Fish and answer normally? Oops—hand over a card to the player who got it right! These little punishments really crank up the pressure and the laughs.
(4) Compact Game For Road Trips
This is the perfect compact game for road trips—fun for adults but easy enough to play with younger family members too. The game comes in a sturdy, cheerful box with bright, playful graphics—I especially love the colourful puffer Big Fish and Little Fish in their rainbow colours.
