About the game
What you do in a play session
The strategy doesn't end with the catch. To score points, you must arrange your fish in a line, creating 'shoals' (fish of the same species placed next to each other). It's a game of reading your opponents and bluffing: will everyone scramble for the biggest fish, or is it smarter to take a smaller one to secure the points? To spice things up, Event cards introduce unexpected twists, forcing players to adapt their tactics on the fly. For those seeking a deeper challenge, the advanced mode introduces special cards that unlock new paths to victory. With simple rules and quick sessions, it's the perfect game to kick off a night or introduce to newcomers, blending the tension of simultaneous selection with the satisfaction of set collection.
