Fisherman

Game Overview

"When you can’t catch a fish, think of it as the fish giving you time to reflect."
— Ernest Hemingway

​

Fisherman is a trick-taking card game themed around a fishing tournament.
Players take turns playing one card each, trying to catch their target fish!

Catching your “main catch” or a fish of the designated size will earn you points,
while reeling in an “undesirable catch” will cost you points instead.
At the start of each tournament, players can set which fish count as “main catches” and which are “undesirable,” adding another layer of strategy.

Aim to become the world’s No.1 angler and raise your victory flag high!

Game Details

"Fisherman" is a trick-taking game in which players aim to get a high score in a fishing tournament with various rules.
Each player plays a card, and the player who plays the strongest card takes all the cards on the table.

Points are awarded based on the type and size of the fish on the card you draw.
Only the "favorite" or a fish of a specified size will be awarded points.
"Bycatch" fish are strong, so you can catch a lot of them, but be careful because if they get into your hands, you will lose points!

Determine the combination of rules for "favorite," "bycatch," "size," and "rating," which change with each tournament, to catch fish most efficiently.
It is also the angler's job to decide the rule combinations. The key is to decide the rules to your advantage while looking at your hand and the actions of other players.

The player who wins the tournament and collects the most big catch flags will be crowned the true "World's No. 1 Angler."
