Pescado (2012)

About this game

A shoal of colorful fish tumbles onto the table. The players cast their nets. A handful of dice is all they need to catch the fish. The player who throws matching colors can land one of the coveted medallions with a fish trio. Which additional dice can players throw? Which trio is the easiest to catch? A fisherman's luck helps, but only risk-takers and strategic throws of the extra dice will help players land the biggest haul in their nets. Pescado is a fast-moving and entertaining dice game – not everything is left to chance.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
