Fisherman's Luck in a box

The box contains 63 hexagonal cards and instructions. That's all. For this reason and because of the price, I decided to only give 3 stars. Keep that in mind when deciding on value for money. It's actually a simple game in which players choose figures that lie face down on a flat surface. The backs of 40 of these cards represent water and consist of 30 fish and 10 action cards. There are 8 cards representing the islands. When setting up a board, you can create a "See" in your own configuration. I think most kids will enjoy building their own fish pond. The rest of the cards are 12 Any Luck cards. They are used to advance the game with instructions like lose turn, draw more cards, etc. Finally, there are 3 "Contest" cards that are used when the player decides to trigger a contest. Since this is a game for children (6 years and older), it's hard to say how successful it will be for the "average" user. I have a feeling that younger kids who love fishing will enjoy this game more than older kids regardless of their love of fishing. The good news is that you don't have a game board and the shapes encourage creativity; The bad news is that you don't have a board and you have to keep up with 63 tiles. If you are looking for a stocking darning game, this is a good choice. Just don't expect him to be bigger than he is.
