About the game
Fish 'n' Chips is a dexterity game for two or more players, with the players being divided onto Team Pelican or Team Seagull. Your goal is to grab available fish and/or control the three areas of the shore by having the most power in them. To do both of these things, you'll take turns throwing chips for your team onto the playing area. But be careful, because any chip that is "under" another chip is no longer worth anything.
