Bring Back Jack board game

Fish need to move.

Many of our native fish need to travel long distances to have their babies. The Mangrove Jack lives most of its life in small creeks and streams but must get to the sea to have their babies. The baby fish then have to travel back from the ocean to the creeks.

But people have put many barriers in their way.

Get Back Jack is a board game that puts you in the shoes of a Mangrove Jack fish, which dodges all sorts of problems just to get to the ocean to lay her eggs.

When you roll the dice you start a journey marred by dirty water, fishermen, litter and exotic fish. Fortunately, landcare groups and Traditional Owners also come your way to help you make it to the ocean to have your babies.

It’s a game designed to show you how the things we do can pollute the waterways, as well as showing you how good deeds help our Jack get back.
