About the game
In this twisted take on Go Fish, you fight against terrorism as the heroic head of a government agency. You must utilize cunning, connections, wire taps and covert ops to hunt down and capture the likes of the Cultists of Invincible Anarchy, the Gun Toting Maniacs and the Militant Satanic Gamers. Don't worry though, you're not alone. Your “friends” are heads of their own agencies, and they're also trying to capture terrorists. Of course, whoever captures the most terrorists will get a Presidential commendation, a significant budget increase and win the game! Fishing for Terrorists Version 2.0 has all new color art and more strategic game play.
