About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your fishing rod and your luck ready, because Pescado Novo is here to liven things up! Inspired by the classic Italian card game Scopa, this game brings fishing to your table in a super fun way. Each game, a special deck comes to life with cards that have wild effects: there's a card that lets you grab a little fish directly from the table, another worth -1 point (watch out!), and even one worth 11. It's a card game that mixes luck and strategy, where you'll need to manage your hand to catch the best points.
With quick games lasting between 20 and 40 minutes, Pescado Novo is perfect for those who want something light and dynamic. It works for 2 to 4 players, and when you have 4 people, things get even more interesting because you play in teams! It's the kind of game that breaks the ice, ideal for families and friends who enjoy card games with a twist. Don't worry about complicated rules; the language dependency is minimal, and everyone will get the hang of it quickly. If you like card games with a light theme and easy-to-learn mechanics that still offer a good challenge, Pescado Novo might be your new addiction.
