About the game
Dice Fishing is a fast-paced and exciting dice-rolling game that feels a lot like real fishing! Each round, the players take turns rolling 6 custom Bait dice. There is a common row of Fish cards that is replenished after each player’s turn. Each card requires a certain set of bait to be placed on it. If all slots of the card are filled, the fish starts biting! The players can guess which of the 7 fish types they are about to catch — zander, trout, perch, pike, sturgeon, salmon, or ide — but they won’t know for sure until they flip the card and see it! The larger the fish, the harder it is to catch it. Moreover, every fish might get away! In order to increase your chances, you will be mastering your fishing skills by resolving different Opportunity cards that will allow manipulating your rolls and the assortment of fish. During the game, the players score additional Achievement tokens for different sets of their fish and as soon as anyone collects 7 different fish, they score the endgame Achievement token. After the final scoring, whoever has the most VP wins! —description from the publisher

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dice Fishing for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
