Guide Review - Finding Nemo
In Finding Nemo, players try to be the first one home, navigating an ever-changing set of sewer pipes. The board has some pipes pre-printed on it, but the gaps must be filled by placing pipe tiles on them. Each turn, you roll two dice. One determines what that you do with the tiles (place 1 or 2, remove 1, or do nothing) and how far you can move (0 to 3 spaces). You can place a tile on almost any space that doesn't have a pawn on it, so you can either improve your own situation -- or deal a setback to other players. The winner is the first to make it through the sewer, into the ocean, and onto the Home space. Finding Nemo is a game that's flexible enough to appeal to children of various ages and good enough to be enjoyed by their parents.
