Tournament Fishing is a card game that involves memory, luck, and strategy. Each participating Angler will compete on a common Lake, attempting to catch the biggest and best fish before the Tournament ends.

Since the Fish are hidden in the Lake, Anglers will need to locate and recall their positions from turn to turn in order to have the best chance to catch them, although they might get lucky and attract them unaware as well!

Face off against fellow friends and family in a 2-4 Angler game, or have a go at it alone (or in a 2-Angler Co-op!) against the challenging Angler AI. Never before has it been so fun to go fishing from the comfort of your own home!

Tournament Fishing is a card game that involves memory, luck, and strategy. Each participating Angler will compete on a common Lake, attempting to catch the biggest and best fish before the Tournament ends.

Since the Fish are hidden in the Lake, Anglers will need to locate and recall their position from turn to turn in order to have the best chance to catch them, although they might get lucky and attract them unaware as well.

Leveraging Deckbuilding mechanics, memory recollection, multi-use cards, hand management, and dice mitigation, Tournament Fishing has a little bit of it all as it attempts to create a highly thematic and challenging fishing experience.

Face off against fellow friends and family in a 2-4 player game, or have a go at it alone against the smart and difficult Angler AI. Never before has it been so fun to go fishing from the comfort of your own home!

A Note from the Designer

This game is the product of many years of fishing on lakes and rivers as I grew up in Texas combined with my hundreds of hours of playing Bassin's Black Bass with Hank Parker on the Nintendo when I was little! In more recent years, it was inspired by my love for deckbuilding games and a passion to create one of my own that was different than the rest. I believe that I achieved that but I will let you all be the judge! Thank you so much for checking out the game and I hope to see or hear about you playing it one day on the inter-webs!
