About the game

What you do in a play session

Fleet Wharfside is a fast-paced strategic card game where you manage your fishing fleet at the bustling Ridback Bay wharf. Merchants are willing to pay top dollar for the best fish and crabs, but you'll need to make smart choices: fish more or secure lucrative contracts? Each turn is a decision between gathering resources from the sea or negotiating with local traders. Contracts provide temporary bonuses, but once fulfilled, the benefits are gone. In the end, the player with the most points from contracts, trophies, and captain bonuses wins! Perfect for fans of light games with a dash of strategy and a charming nautical theme.
