Objective of the Game:

The goal is to find the hidden sardines (small fish tokens) without getting caught by the other players.

Setup:

1. Players: 2–4 players can join in.

2. Components: The game comes with fish-shaped  tokens, and the sardine cards. Each player starts with a specific number of fish tokens in the game.

Gameplay Instructions:

1. The Setup:

   • Each player receives a certain number of sardine tokens (usually 3 or 4).

   • One player is chosen to be the "hider," and the rest are the "seekers."

2. The Hider: 

   • The hider places a sardine token in a secret spot, where the seekers can’t see it.

   • The hider must then keep their sardine hidden while the seekers try to find it.

3. The Seekers:

   • The seekers take turns trying to find the hidden sardine tokens.

   • Whenever a seeker finds a sardine, they add it to their pile.

4. Game Progression:

   • The seekers continue searching for more sardines in the hiding spot areas. The first player to collect all the sardine tokens wins!

5. Winning:

   • The winner is the first player to collect all their sardines, or whoever has the most sardines when the game ends.

Key Points:

• Turn-taking: It’s important to make sure each player has a chance to search. If you play with a larger group, it’s helpful to stagger turns.

• Quick Play: The game encourages speed and memory, making it very interactive and fun!
