Fish 'em Up

Fish' em Up – Catch, Compete, and Outsmart Friends

Age: 8+ | Players: 2–6 | Playtime: 25 min. | Languages: LT / EN 

In Fish ’em Up, you and your friends take on the role of daring fishermen, casting a massive net in hopes of hauling in the biggest catch. Each player wants to prove their skill, outsmart their opponents, and impress the locals. Will you return with a legendary haul, or end up with nothing but a net full of trash and disappointment?

Players take turns adding cards to the shared Net, stacking them strategically on top of the existing cards. Each card type triggers special effects, such as gaining points, stealing points from rivals, or stealing cards. The more cards of the same type connected to the Net, the stronger their effects become. Players can also cover specific images to neutralize opponents’ cards, creating opportunities for clever combos, surprise reversals, and dramatic last-minute swings.

The game ends when the Boat card is drawn, and the player with the most points wins, crowned the ultimate fisherman. With each round, players must balance risk and reward, decide when to cooperate or betray, and adapt to the constantly changing Net.

Gameplay Highlights:

• Add cards to the Net to score points or sabotage opponents.
• Chain effects for maximum impact.
• Cover cards to block opponents’ strategies.
• Quick, tactical turns with high player interaction.
• Easy to learn, but with deep strategic possibilities.

In the box you will find:

• 55 unique round cards
• 30 fishing point tokens
• 1 wooden jellyfish token
• 2 rulebooks in Lithuanian and English

Fish ’em Up is perfect for players who love clever card play, strategic thinking, and playful rivalry. Will you land the big catch… or get tangled in your own net?
