About this game

In the swirling currents of a feeding frenzy, even the smallest fish can rise to power… if they stick together. In this vibrant, underwater card game, schools of fish compete to dominate the feeding grounds by grouping up and chasing each other off. Outsmart your rivals, time your plays, and try not to be the one left behind when the food runs out. Gunjo Gradation is a climbing game where cards of the same number can be grouped to form stronger plays, letting weaker fish gang up on bigger ones. But leftovers matter: unplayed cards cause penalties at the end of each round, and only matching numbers can be stacked to reduce the pain. Bonus points are awarded based on who escapes cleanest, with simple rules that escalate into a dynamic tactical puzzle.
