Shallow Regrets: Lingering Remorse

Shallow Regrets: Lingering Remorse is the 6‑card expansion that comes into play once you’ve got the 18‑card base game. The new creatures are a touch sinister, with effects that stay active until you choose to exhaust them. That means instead of just grabbing a fish and moving on, you have to plan each fishing run around the lingering effects that are still on the table. The expansion adds six extra “shoals,” which you mix with the main deck and deal out so each player gets six cards (eight if a fourth player is in the mix). The ongoing mechanic turns the expansion cards into real obstacles that shift the game’s flow each round. If you like games where strategy evolves over time, you’re in for a treat. Plus, the ability to add a fourth player brings more rivalry and chaos to the fishing frenzy. The components are simple—just cards, no extra pieces—so it’s compatible with the Print & Play version, letting you print at home and dive in without breaking the bank. The game lasts about 15 minutes, perfect for quick sessions or as a warm‑up before a larger gathering. The learning curve is shallow, but the persistent effects demand constant attention. Though the components are just cards, the variety of creatures gives a visual charm reminiscent of a pocket horror book. If you already own the base game, the expansion can be played on its own, but the real fun comes when you mix the two together. Bottom line: if you want a fast, horror‑themed game with a dash of unpredictability, this expansion will give your fishing arsenal a fun upgrade.
