Ever wondered what it's like to be a seagull? In Gaivotas, that's exactly your role: diving into a frantic competition for fish, trying to build the best collection while avoiding chaos in the sky. The game unfolds in rounds where several fish cards are revealed on the table. The catch? You and your friends secretly choose which fish you want to snag and reveal your decisions simultaneously. If you're the only one eyeing a specific fish, congratulations, it's your snack! But if another seagull has the same idea, it turns into a flurry of flapping wings, and nobody gets the fish—you might leave empty-handed or just grab whatever scraps are left on the fisherman's boat.

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.
