Sturgeon (2010)

About this game

The biggest fish wins in this fish-eat-fish card game. For two to five players ages 10 and up Lake Sturgeon is a cruel and unforgiving place. Minnows scurry about in schools, trying to avoid being eaten by bass, bass hide from the mighty sturgeon in the dense weeds, and sturgeon fishermen patiently angle for their elusive trophy. If your fish survive long enough to produce two sturgeons, you rule the lake.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
