About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your best poker face ready and sharpen your hook, because in Histórias de Pescador (Fisherman's Tales), the goal is to become the master of tall tales! Gathered for the last fishing season of the year, competitors let loose to tell the biggest, best, and most unbelievable stories about their catches. The objective? To earn everyone's admiration and the title of fishing legend. To do this, you play cards from your hand face down, declaring what type of sea creature you've snagged. The other players can choose to believe your story or challenge you. If you're caught in a lie, you get a penalty. If you're telling the truth and get challenged, you earn a bonus. The game continues in this rhythm of bluffing and storytelling, with players raising the stakes with the same creature or changing the subject, until someone manages to play their last card and is crowned the champion of fisherman's tales. It's a fast-paced, lighthearted game full of laughter, perfect for those who enjoy good bluffing and aren't afraid to spin a yarn. The complexity is super light, ideal for warming up the group before more complex games or for ending the night on a high note. With low language dependency, the fun is guaranteed for everyone, without barriers.
