Gone Fishin' (1890)

About this game

Each player gets a plastic fishing pole with a little magnet at the end of the fishing cord. The players sit around a cardboard aquarium in which plastic fish, cardboard fish and pieces of garbage are hidden from their view. Players have to try and 'fish' the fish from the aquarium while trying to leave the garbage alone. The bigger the catch, the more points you earn, and the treasure chest is worth the most points of all. Who catches the most fish for the most points wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• 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 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
