ALLPLAY Lure Board Game for Adults or Families - Wager Dice to Roll and Catch Fish - Push Your Luck with Less Dice Or Secure The Catch - 1-Minute to Teach - 15 Minutes Play Time - 2 to 5 Players

Super quick and fun.I don't normally care for dice huckers, but this is 1 of the exceptions. Competing to catch fish with a level of strategy and deceit all in an easy to carry vessel.Cards, boards and dice are all good quality. Rules are simple to teach and learn. Gameplay goes pretty quick especially with just 2 players, my favorite count for this game so far. And the price is reasonable.

Very fun game to play with the family, the rules are easy to follow and the illustrations on the cards are detailed and informative!

My wife and myself have been looking for simple, fun, and unique board games to play together and this certainly fits the bill. I am a huge gamer whether it be video, card, tabletop, or board game. The wife however is not, so I have been searching for something for games that don't have pages of rules or extremely elaborate set ups. This one fits the bill and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

Super fun game and very well made. Easy to understand. We’ve played it alot and taught many others how to play! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great simple game. Quick to learn and play but not too simplistic!

This is neat little game about rolling dice and using the results to hopefully claim fish cards (worth points) from the center. The trick is that everyone's racing for the same cards and you "bid" for sequence based on how many dice you choose to roll. If you roll all of your dice, you have a pretty good chance of matching several of the cards, but if I can match some with fewer dice, I'll get to claim them before you. So, everyone's trying to be as efficient as possible - or just go big and hope everyone else misses. I appreciate that this overall system feels fairly unique and clever, and adds some fun tension to your decision of which dice to use.The components are nice - set of dice for each player in different colors, nice player screens with a rules overview on the back, nice quality cards and tokens, and overall great art which certainly helps draw you into the theme. I also love the small super portable box - this is a great little box size from allplay.As far as gameplay itself, it can be fairly luck dependent, which shouldn't be a surprise as a dice game and generally fine as a quick little game. I appreciate the use of lures to help mitigate missed rolls, or provide specific valued-dice to ensure certain requirements. Turn order being based on quantity of dice works well, but also presents my first minor complaint. Since the range of dice is 1-7, and you're usually bidding in the 3-5 range, there are a LOT of ties, especially in a 5 player game. Ties are resolved by all tied players rolling and the lowest sum goes first. This works fine, and makes sense, but is also kind of anti-climactic since part of the fun of dice games is getting some immediate success or fail feedback with your rolls. By adding this intermediate step of summing the dice to determine who goes first, you lose a bit of the excitement of seeing if you got what you needed. I'm not sure what a better way would be (turn order, maybe?), but I feel like it would be more fun for each player to roll individually and see if they got what they needed. Also, being able to use all of your dice to claim all cards often means one player with a lucky roll gets several cards and there's just nothing else for other players to try for. Again, this is the crux of bidding low, but it's also just not very fun to not even get a chance to roll. Finally, I feel like for a game this light, there are a few little fiddly rules around the lures. Such as lures not counting as dice when bidding, but they do count when rolling for ties. Again, this makes sense, but little exceptions like this are tricky for new players. I also noticed a few of the rules are explained better on the reference card than in the rule book, which is convenient but also frustrating if you're checking the book to clarify something and just can't find it because it's not there.Overall, this is a neat little light dice game and great for a quick little game session. It's not perfect, but I appreciate what it does and like the unique bidding. The theme and art are great, and it's one I'm happy to play but just won't take too seriously.

Fun family game grandkids love it.

There are a lot of new board games out there. Many of them say they can be played with 2 players and they are generally just ... not fun, I hate to say it, with that few people. This cute little game was very enjoyable with just myself and my partner.The game was very easy to learn and understand - another problem with modern games - too complicated. We played probably 5 games or so in about an hour/hour and half. It is almost a double-edged issue for us as when the game was ending, it felt like it would be nice to have it go just a little bit longer - the game feels almost too short. The element of hiding your dice from your opponent and have rules based on how many dice you selected for a turn was a fun and refreshing idea from a board game from my experience.The fish cards are all high quality with nice printing. The box everything comes in is a little annoyingly small though. Everything just barely fits in there with the box closed flush. I would like to see the box be just a little bit bigger to be more forgiving and not have to place items in there just so.This is a great little game. I would give this one a solid recommend due to its ease of learning and quick gameplay. It is the type of game you could throw into a backpack for a weekend trip or something as its fun, but does not require a huge time commitment. There are very few games I would put in this exclusive category, personally.
