About the game
In Beasty Bar: Down Under, a flood of new faces floods into the Beasty Bar. As in earlier Beasty Bar titles, which can be combined with this title, players take turns having their sea creatures line up at Heaven's Gate. If the line is full, the two animals at the front can make themselves comfortable in the bar, while the animal at the end of the queue has to go home again. That's why the animals use fishy tricks to push their way to the front. The magical manta ray uses a diversionary maneuver, while the eel squeezes unnoticed into even the smallest gap and the noble swordfish duels for a place. In the end, the player who manages to place the most animals in the bar wins. —description from the publisher
