About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a splashy fishing adventure with Fishy Tactics! This quick and fun game is perfect for those who enjoy friendly competition with a dash of luck. Dive into a lake where rival fishermen are trying to snag the most valuable fish for their supper. Each turn, you'll spin a spinner to move a hungry crocodile across the board – watch out, it might snatch your catch! Then, it's time to roll the dice and try to lure a fish towards your basket. If you're lucky and a fish makes it to you, it's yours! But don't be fooled, tactics come into play when you roll a 6: instead of moving a fish, you can steal one from another player's haul. The game ends when the last fish is out of the lake, and the player with the most valuable catch in their boat wins! With easy-to-learn rules and games lasting around 15 minutes, Fishy Tactics is ideal for families and those casual game nights, guaranteeing laughs and a bit of tension with every play. It's pure aquatic fun for 2 to 4 players aged 4 and up!
