Using magnetic fish (game pieces) is as close to involving water - without actually involving water, as you can get! Brilliant!

Sounds like alot of fun doesn't it?

Wow, this is my favorite idea so far. Everything fits. My only problem is that I couldn't see the use of magnetic game pieces.

Also, with all this "the number 4" talk, I wonder if we'll get a fourth game hint by saturday.
