About the Game

After a long day out on the water, you want to brag about your day's catch. No one believed your last elaborate tale about landing the largest fish, so you decide to try again. The question remains: how big was it?

It Was This Big is push your luck game with 18 identical cards, where you try to create the biggest fish by laying cards.

The active player places two border cards (head and tail), leaving space in between them. They will then try to fit body parts between those cards. If they manage to do it, they'll score all of the body cards. If they fail, it's next player turn.

The player with the most points is the winner.
