Tangled ropes and tactical confusion
Big Fish / Little Fish is a fast-paced field game for 8+ players in which teams of players connected by jump ropes attempt to surround other teams, consuming and absorbing them with the ultimate goal of subsuming all players into a single big fish. Little fish need not despair however because by surrounding a single player on either end of the big fish they can slowly break the big fish back down into its constituent little fish parts. Big Fish / Little Fish has the fast paced chase of Tag, the hilarious complexity of taut, tangled ropes, the tactical confusion of coordinating frantic players to move as one, and the satisfying variety of back-and-forth goals.
