The game is played on a square grid. Each player starts with four queens (as in chess queens) placed in predetermined locations on their side of the board. On a players turn, they move a queen and then fire an arrow from that queen (the arrow piece moves like a queen also). The space that the arrow lands on creates a permanent block on the board. Arrows can not be shot through queens or arrows. The first player who can not make a legal move (move a queen and then shoot) loses the game.

| bigby | 1 | I really had a good time playing this game in the tournament. But I don't know that I understand the strategy yet. |
| Cerulean | 1 | Better than Tanbo. |
| goulo | 1 | The apparent original inspiration for Hey! That's my Fish! |

| molnar | 1 | Doesn't have fish in it, but I'll still play it. I think it should be played with the pie rule. |

| spearjr | 1 | Excellent area control game. Limited player movement makes for exciting tactical choices. |
| unic | 1 | Interesting territory game. Can get very tactical. |
| wyons | 1 | I enjoy amazons though sublime tactics always seem out of reach to proper analysis |
| CDRodeffer | 0 | Territorial game of tempo and position. My main complaint with the game is that the tipping point can be fairly early, with both players able to perfectly map out play to the end, even if the end is some 30 moves away. |

| nycavri | -1 | Interesting premise. Need to play another game or two to figure strategy, but seems a little too claustrophobic. |
