## Description

FISHING - Use card tricks to catch fish, then use those fish as bait to catch more! In Fishing, you try to catch as many tricks as possible in 8 rounds, as each card you catch counts 1 point. You use your caught cards for the next round. If you did not catch enough tricks to do so, you can fill up your hand of cards with fresh cards from the ocean stack. You win Fishing with the most points, but how many fresh cards do you need to succeed? Designer: Friedeman Friese, Artist: Maren Rache.

Review: Trick-taking game with some fun new rules. - Fun trick-taking game. It was easy to learn, and the new rules make it different enough from other trick-taking games to keep it interesting.
Review: Fun twist on trick-taking games - Great little design! This is a Friedeman Friese design (hence the "F" name and the green box) that is a clever twist on standard trick-takers. Gameplay Overview: In this easy-to-learn game, there are suits with cards 1-10 and you have to play following the suit that was led, just like other trick takers; highest card in suit wins. However, your points are the number of cards you win. So over the 8 rounds, you will try and win as many of the cards as you can. The twist is two-fold: First, the cards you win will become your deck for future rounds. So if you won a lot of small/weak cards, you may have earned points, but you'll "pay" for that in later rounds when your cards are weaker. The Second twist is that new cards will be introduced for the players who don't have enough (IE the ones who lost cards). These new cards are more powerful than the ones on the board. These may introduce larger numbers (11-18), trump suit, and action cards that either take effect immediately or will apply to next round, like negative values, lowest card wins, take a card from the trick before the winner collects the trick, etc. This is a wonderful little game that plays much bigger than its card-sized box would indicate (and cost) and could be a variant for anyone who enjoys trick taking games but wants something to just mix it up a bit. I expect to teach this to my euchre-playing family.

## Features

- CATCH TRICKS TO WIN: As you delve through the ocean and you use your cards to catch as many tricks as possible, you will also compete against your fellow fishers.
- COMPETE AGAINST OTHER FISHERS: As the trick builds, be sure to pay attention and strategize and you can use special buoy cards that could steal the lead or determine which color will lead the next trick.
- STEAL TRICKS FOR YOURSELF: Be wary of making enemies in Fishing as they all have a chance to steal all other cards in a trick and forcing players to pass cards or lose points.
- TRICK TAKING: Fishing is the perfect game for a group of players from 3-5, lasts between 30-60 minutes, and is for ages 14+.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another New Twist on Trick-Taking
*by M***J on September 24, 2025*

I am always up for a twist on trick-taking and this is definitely a new one! There's this constant decision of when do I want to take a trick and get points (and ideally some high cards to load into your deck) versus trying to not take TOO many tricks early and finding yourself stuck with just garbage cards for several rounds! Sometimes you might want to take a couple tricks just to delay going to the ocean deck another round, only to have another player run the table and trigger the game end a round early! The cards that steal or take points add a fun element into the game that you have to watch out for as well. Not necessarily a top game for me but still fun and different enough to want it in my collection and game bag a lot of the time.
