Competing fishers haul in the biggest catch by winning tricks across eight rounds of changing seas.

Gameplay

Win tricks to collect cards for points and to form your hand for the next round, drawing from the ocean when you come up short. The tension is judging when to grab a trick now versus setting yourself up with stronger options later.
