Fast-Paced, Easy to Play Fun for the Entire Family
Objective: The winner is the player who, after 8 rounds of play, has caught the most fish. The strategy is for players to make quick decisions during their 45-second turn involving how much time to spend assembling their fishing rig and/or whether to spend the precious time earning a 'Snag-Free' chip - all of which impacts a player's remaining time to catch fish.
Set Up: All game components are placed on the table. The sand timer and score pad are placed off to the side as to not interfere with the rolling players' turn. The 7 game dice and 'Snag-free' chip are positioned close to the 'rolling' player.
Playing the (Basic) Game:
| | |
|---|
- One player rolls at a time, with subsequent rolls rotating to the left.
- Each turn starts when the 45-second timer is flipped and ends when the timer expires.
- Each turn contains 2 parts: 1.) rolling dice to assemble their 'fishing rig' and 2.) rolling dice to catch fish.
- Before a player may start catching fish, they must first roll the 4 natural color dice to assemble their 'fishing rig'.
- A player is not allowed to 'start fishing' until they have at least rolled a partially-assembled rig!
| - One strategy is to keep rolling the natural-color dice until a complete 'rig' is assembled, so that all of the fish dice may be rolled.
- Note that the fish dice have varying 'fish numbers' (points). Players may continue rolling these dice to get the highest possible score until the sand timer expires. Players Do not have to roll all the fish dice in each roll. For example, if they have a high point number on the white die, they can keep that die and continue to only roll the Red and Blue fish dice.
| - Snag: If a player rolls a Snag, their fishing rig is 'broken', any fish caught until then are 'thrown back', and they must then start over from the very beginning.
- Snag-Free Chip: A player may earn a 'Snag-Free' chip when they roll at least 'three-of-a-kind' of the natural colored dice while assembling their fishing rig. Once a player earns the Snag-Free Chip, all future rolls with a snag during that turn do not result in the player starting over.
