In more detail, at the start of each round, you have 8-13 cards in hand, depending on the player count and the round. In the first round, the cards go from 1-10 in four colors. Standard trick-taking rules apply, with players needing to follow the color led and the highest card of the led suit winning the trick.
New cards come into play from the ocean stack in waves, with higher-value cards in the four colors, a green trump suit from 1-16, 0 cards that let you snag a card from the trick, and special-powered buoy cards that can always be played into a trick regardless of what you have in hand. With buoys, you can steal the lead or determine which color must lead the next trick, force players to pass cards or lose points; you can even steal all other cards in a trick, ideally netting yourself huge fish for use next round.
At the end of each round, score 1 point for each card you caught. Whoever lands the most points after eight rounds wins.

I have two genre favorites in my life: 18xx and trick tacking (weird, I know). Fishing does everything right, what a nice trick taking game should do and adds enough to be innovative. Unlike other modern trick taking games the innovated mechanics allow a smooth gameplay, without reading too many cards, rules or whatsoever (which is the case for me in rebel princess, although I like the topic and artwork of that game). Most important thing in trick taking is to play it fast, being highly interactive, and becoming more and not less interesting the more you play it. Fishing delivers all of this.
The game is exactly what I expected and my family is enjoying the game a lot. Even my 7 years old son understand the rules and is having fun with the game.
Great game. It's exciting and there's something to think about. We have a great time with the whole Family.
Among the most innovative and enjoyable trick taking games I've ever played -- the catch-up mechanic makes losing fun, and the fact that your tricks carry into the next round result in some unique strategies -- skipping low value tricks while sniping important cards for later use.
