== OBJECT OF THE GAME==
Catch the best salmon! Collect colored card rows to build high-scoring color sets. At the end of the game, compare the totals of each color against your opponents to earn placement points. The player with the most points wins.
== COMPONENTS & SETUP ==
* 100 double-sided cards in 5 colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue).
* Shuffle all cards and place them in a central draw pile.
* Leave space for up to 5 central display rows (1 row per color).
== TURN OVERVIEW ==
Players take turns in clockwise order. On your turn, you MUST play at least 1 card.
=== PLAYING A CARD ===
* Take the top card from the draw pile.
* You may play it using its top (visible) side OR flip it over to play its back side.
* Place the card into the matching color row in the central display.
* Cards in a row are overlapped so that all card values remain visible.
* If a color row does not exist yet, start a new row with that card.
=== BUSTING A ROW (4 Cards) ===
As soon as a 4th card is added to any row, ALL 4 cards of that row are immediately discarded to the discard pile. Your turn ends instantly.
=== CHOICE AFTER PLAYING A CARD ===
If the row did not reach 4 cards, choose one of the following options:
'''Option A: Push Your Luck'''
* Draw and play another card from the top of the draw pile (front or back).
'''Option B: Claim a Row'''
* Take ONE color row from the central display containing 2 or 3 cards.
* Place these cards in front of you in your personal play area.
* Note: Single cards (1 card) CANNOT be claimed. If no row has 2 or 3 cards, you can end your turn without taking a row.
=== SPECIAL CARD SYMBOLS ===
* STOP: You are forced to stop drawing. You must immediately claim a valid row (2 or 3 cards). If no valid row exists, your turn ends without taking a row.
* ⭮ (Continue): You cannot end your turn yet. You MUST play at least one more card from the draw pile before you are allowed to claim a row.
=== SCORING & END OF GAME ===
==== Calculating Row Values ====
In your personal area, calculate the total value of each color set by
adding the card values sequentially from top to bottom.
* '''Multipliers (x2):''' Double the total sum calculated up to that point.
* Any color set with a total value of '''0 or lower''' receives NO points.
==== Awarding Points ====
Compare the total score for each color individually across all players:
* Players receive placement points (1st place, 2nd place, etc.) for each color based on the player count.
==== Winning ====
Sum up the placement points earned across all 5 colors. The player with the highest total score wins the game.
