|
| == 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.
