Description

Fishalo is a fishing contest to catch your favourite: bass, pike, trout and walleye. Will you be the first to haul into your boat five of the biggest fish? The other anglers will try their best to prevent you from doing so, including taking the fish away from you! Can you successfully fight them off? The game ends when a player has five fish is his/her boat, but the winner is the person with the highest total weight in fish.

Each player starts with 7 cards in hand and a fishing boat in front of him. At his turn, the player has to pick a card from the reserve pile or retrieve his bait from the lake.

If the player has a fish attached to his bait, he must haul it - unless the fish is trapped by a floating tree trunk or submerged rocks. In the latter case, the player has to use a high-resistance fishing line to release the fish and haul it into his boat.

If after the second step, the player still has 8 cards in hand, he may:
1. Place a second fishing rod in his boat.
2. Throw bait into the lake.
3. Attach a colour-coded fish to bait of the same colour on his fishing rod or on another player's rod.
4. Eliminate an obstacle placed by another player.
5. Attach an obstacle to an opponent.
6. Discard a card having little or no value.

The game ends when one player has hauled in five fish. The winner is the player with the fish that have the greatest total weight.

Content : 6 Fishing boats, 110 cards (32 fish, 30 baits, 15 obstacles, 33 solutions)
