About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your fishing rod ready and warm up your reflexes, because Glub Club is that perfectly organized chaos we all love. Forget the peace and quiet of traditional fishing; this is a frantic, real-time experience where whoever has the quickest fingers gets the best pick of the cards. Each round, new cards are revealed, and your goal is to hook whatever you need to build the strongest possible set. But don't think it's just about fishing and grabbing the loot! The game features a clever handicap system: the faster you fish, the more line you release from your reel, making your future attempts significantly harder. In other words, you have to balance the urge to grab the best cards with the need to maintain enough precision so you don't get stuck later on.

It is a delightful mix of dexterity and set-collection strategy. You will need a keen eye to spot which cards complete your sequences or groups of numbers and colors, and steady hands to ensure you get priority in the drafting phase. Once everyone has collected five cards, the fishing session ends, and it's time to tally the points. Whoever has the most robust combination takes home the master angler trophy. This is an ideal title to liven up any table, especially if your group enjoys games that require agility and a bit of tension. If you like games that don't forgive silly mistakes and make everyone laugh (or panic) while trying to fish, Glub Club will be a regular at your game nights. It is simple, straightforward, and above all, genuinely fun.
