Fishing 28 and other games

 Been playing Fishing 28 recently having got the fish, boat, rocks and big fish ready. Some info-

Note the link to the non combat tabletop gaming discord in the above post.

So basically l am trying to catch five fish without crashing into the rocks or getting sunk by the big fish. I have to beware of drift due to the current too.

The set up at the start of the game. The dice on the edge of the playing area marked the direction the tide is moving. In absence of a suitable board or piece of paper I opted for the hob top, having made sure it was off and cold!

Turn two and fish number one is caught. Below the rules-
Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but fun. The discord and other sites are full of interesting creative folk and ideas.

    1. It does, thanks. It is a relaxing wee game. In that department it reminds me of “ Tokaido” the board game.

  2. Ah that's what the fish were for!
    Two things catch the eye particularly, the dazzle-camouflage worn by the Fisherman and the layout of the playing field for the game - I had to do a close up to work that one out!!

    1. I take it you mean the red and white livery of the Guild of Fishermen 😂
      Perhaps not the most sensible place to game. In my defence there are no children in the house to adversely influence.

  3. A cowboy figure with dynamite would speed up the game.

  7. I love the idea, too.

    Too bad you have to sign up for yet another website to access things. :(
