🛠 About the product / Function

The game consists of a cardboard box that serves as an “aquarium,” with the fish placed inside so they are hidden from view. Players take turns using a wooden fishing rod with a magnet on the end to catch the fish. Each fish has a small metal ring or clip, allowing it to be picked up by the magnet.

The back of the fish often shows a point value. The player who collects the most points or fish by the end of the game wins. Simple to learn, yet surprisingly exciting and fun to play.
