Description

A warm summer breeze sends ripples across the water as the sun begins to rise over Lake Kegonsa--It’s a great day for fishing!

In Kegonsa players are competing in a local fishing tournament and must carefully manage the assortment of lures and special equipment in their tackle boxes while scoping out the best spots in the lake in order to out-fish their opponents.

At the start of each game, the lake tiles are shuffled and laid face-up in a grid of variable size depending on the number of players. Each lake tile depicts 1 to 3 fish that players are trying to catch during the game by placing the highest value of like-colored lures around them. A player’s turn consists of two phases: movement and placement. In the movement phase, players must move their boat token 1 or 2 spaces to a new unoccupied lake tile. In the placement phase, players must select an available lure tile from their tackle box using a unique rondel mechanic and place it adjacent to the location of their boat. After a set number of rounds, each of the lake tiles is scored and the player who caught the highest value of fish is the winner!
