Fische Fluppen Frikadellen

A tactical board game for 2 – 5 (15) players at age 10+ at 1 to 3 tables
Author: Friedemann Friese
Playing time: 60 minutes – Auswahlliste Spiel des Jahres 2003.

Fairytale:
In German, the words in brackets all begin with the letter “F”. During the (gloomy) February holidays the frightful (prince) Fieso holds fast the fascinating faerie Fabula with help of fatally filthy feints. To free the faerie you have to (get) her out of the (claws) of the (prince). You flee light-footed into the Finnish fjord, to find the (prince´s) favourite, fascinating fetishs. You (row) fast ferries from (specialized merchant) to (specialized merchant) and (bargain) frequently with fusel, fennel, fish, (cigarettes) and (meatballs). Use your Florins (excellently) to fundamentally (strengthen) your (lead) with the three fetishs.

Idea of the game:
The game has a completely new game concept, so up to 15 players can play this game. If 2 – 5 players are playing it is a tricky trading game, where every player tries to reach the best merchants at the best times. If more than 5 players are playing, 2 – 3 sets of the game are prepared, and players split up at the different tables. During the game, the players move to different tables and always play in different constellations. This table-changing-system is completely new and Fische Fluppe Frikadellen is the first game using this system.

Components (1 copy for 2 – 5 players):
36 merchants, 1 plan, 65 commodity tokens, 5 commodity value markers, 11 improvements, 15 fetish tokens, 5 player tokens, 6 ferries, 2000 Florints.

The game exists in three versions A, B, C – each with a different set of player tokens for a game with up to 15 players. The game boxes have a sticker labeled A, B, C.

Currently there is no English version of the game in distribution. You can find the English translation of the game rules at
