fishing
each round, you'll draw hands of fish cards and place them onto the grid one at a time. score points by creating combos. some tags want to be adjacent to each other, while others score better when spread apart. when a card is placed, the remaining cards in your hand are returned to your deck, keeping you constantly adapting to what you draw next.
iterate and optimize every round
after completing each board, visit the shop to purchase new fish or add powerful bonus tags to existing fish in your deck. choose wisely. your deck grows with every purchase, changing the odds of what you'll draw. balance expansion with consistency as you refine your strategy for every next round.
modifiers
many of the boards introduce unique modifiers that transform the rules. you may find mods that restrict placement patterns, change what tags interact, or even limit which fish you can play. adapt your strategy on the fly to meet escalating score requirements. you can also unlock powerful run modifiers that change your entire playthrough: cycle discarded cards back into your deck, gain bonus points for specific strategies, or even start each round with a card already placed. experiment with different combinations to discover new synergies and push your high score even higher.
