Description

In Fishing, you're diving into a world of strategic fun with 3 to 5 friends, competing to catch the most tricks over eight thrilling rounds. With easy-to-learn rules, designed by the renowned Friedemann Friese, this 2024 release promises an engaging experience that's perfect for a casual game night, lasting around 40 to 60 minutes. The game starts simple, with each player holding 8-13 cards, and standard trick-taking rules apply - follow the color led and the highest card wins. However, things get more interesting as new cards from the ocean stack are introduced, featuring higher-value cards, a green trump suit, and special-powered buoy cards that can turn the tide of the game. These buoy cards are game-changers, allowing you to steal the lead, dictate the next color, or even snatch all the cards in a trick, giving you a huge advantage for the next round. At the end of each round, you score a point for every card you've caught, and the player with the most points after eight rounds emerges victorious. With its unique blend of deck, bag, and pool building, and trick-taking mechanics, Fishing offers a captivating experience that's full of surprises, making it a great addition to any board game collection, especially for fans of animals, card games, and the nautical theme.
