Histórias de Pescador is a board game released in 2019 for 2–7 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Lucas Melo and its main mechanics are Hand Management and Storytelling.
It's the last fishing season of the year and all the fishermen have gathered to tell tales of their greatest catches. Anything goes to get the group's admiration and the title of best fisherman. On his turn, a player must play at least one card from his hand, face down on the table, and declare a type of sea creature he caught. The other players choose to accept or confront his claim. When confronted, a player must reveal his cards and, depending if he was being honest or not, get a bonus or a hindrance. The game continues with players declaring cards of the same creature or changing the subject to another creature, until a player successfully plays his last card, telling his last story, and becoming the best fisherman of the group. -description from publisher
Histórias de Pescador supports 2–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Histórias de Pescador is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Histórias de Pescador for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Histórias de Pescador has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
