About the game
What you do in a play session
Utilizing a clever worker placement mechanic, you'll position your anglers in four distinct fishing zones. The twist is that you can take actions both when placing your workers and when retrieving them. Each zone requires specific bait placement, and by clearing the last bait from a zone, you catch a fish corresponding to that bait's color. The challenge increases with the Master Angler Challenge, where bait color combinations can yield extra synergy points, bringing you closer to victory.
Coldwater Crown offers an engaging experience that balances tactical planning with a touch of angler's intuition. Whether you're a board game veteran or looking for a different, relaxing theme, this game brings the thrill of fishing to your table. You can compete against up to three friends or hone your skills in a solo mode. The feeling of watching your trophy collection grow is unbeatable, making you feel like a true master angler!
