- How To Play -

1. Pick Your Character

You're playing as an up and coming angler looking to etch their name in fishing history. Each character adds their own unique gameplay twist to swing the odds in your favor, adding strategic depth and replayability.

2. Choose Your Fishing Spot

Work your way through five unique Fishing Spots, each one swimming with potential. The deeper the spot, the harder it is to fish. You'll need to upgrade your gear and cross your fingers before you even think about casting in open waters and looking for the ultimate prize: The one and only Big Kahuna.

3. Reel Em' In

Draw cards and roll dice to reel in Trash, Treasure, and hopefully, Fish. Once you make a catch, you now face a crucial choice: keep your spoils and end your turn, or throw them back in as bait on your hook to attract something even bigger. Be careful, if your line snaps you'll lose the fish you're battling AND the one you used as bait. No risk no reward!
