A few anglers are trying to catch the best fish. But somehow your choice of place doesn't seem to be the best to reach the jumping fish. Fill your fishing net with the best fish before your fellow players do!

Each player receives a game piece and a fishing net. The lake is placed in the center. 5 phases are played. First you draw 2 tiles from the bag. Then you can put one or both tiles back into the bag and draw again. However, this costs one tile from the net. This can be repeated as often as you like.

After that, one tile is placed in the lake based on its coordinates. The other tile is turned over and serves as a time unit. The time unit can also be exchanged in phase 4 for giving up a tile from the fishing net. ⠀⠀

In phase 5, fishing takes place. For each time unit, you may take one step around the lake and cast your fishing rod. Reeling in does not cost a unit of time. You may only cast straight ahead, so you must stand at right angles to the fish. Then the start player marker is passed on and a new round begins. ⠀⠀

In the 3-4 player game, you can save time units and use them later. If a player's net is full, the current round is still played to the end, followed by the scoring. You add up the points of the fish on the fishing net. Who is the best angler?
