A trick-taking game where every card you catch becomes part of your hand for the next round of fishing.
Who it's for
Trick-taking fans who want a twist on the genre – the deck-building layer adds a strategic thread that pure trick-takers don't have.
Not for you if…
If you want a classic, unchanging trick-taking experience, the evolving deck and buoy interruptions add more variance than traditionalists may want.
Vibe's take
Layered and evolving – the trick-taking stays familiar, but the growing ocean stack and buoy powers keep every round feeling different from the last.
Fishing turns trick-taking into an actual fishing trip: every trick you win becomes a card you keep and reuse next round, while an ocean stack keeps introducing fresh cards, including trump-color fish and powerful buoy cards, into the mix. Over eight rounds, you're not just winning tricks, you're building the deck you'll fish with next.
