About this game

Fish, tools, and tactics collide in this quick 2-4 player game where scoring the most cards wins. Every move you make to block rival fishermen ripples back. The ocean is yours to use, but so is it your opponent's. Flood it with cards to slow them down, and you might find yourself struggling to stay afloat too. Stay sharp, adapt to the ever-shifting rules, and catch every angle for points. The Big Haul is out there. Can you reel it in? The Big Haul is a card game comprised of only 36 cards. Each card hosts two distinct effects. One effect will modify what can and cannot be done by all players, the other will help you score cards. During your turn you will either add a card to your boat or activate a card in your boat. While you are adding cards to your boat, you are also adding cards to the ocean, changing the rules of the game! The winner is the player with the most scored cards when the deck runs out. —description from the designer
