Boat Rush

Sail out, net fish, and get them home before the gong.

2–4 players3 min

How you win

Four seasons, 30 seconds each. The most fish unloaded at your own dock wins. Fish still in your boat when the gong sounds spoil.

The choice that matters

One more cast, or home now?

  1. 1. Sail

    Tap the water and your boat sails there.

  2. 2. Cast

    Tap CAST when fish are just in front of your boat. Your boat holds 8 fish when four boats share the lake, more when fewer do; a full boat is slow.

  3. 3. Go home

    Sail into your own dock to unload. Between seasons, pick one of three cards: gear, greedy, or a keeper's choice.

  4. 4. Ram

    DASH into a full boat to knock out up to 3 fish. Anyone can scoop them up. No ramming near a dock.

  5. 5. Finish strong

    The golden carp is worth 5. In the last 10 seconds of a season, an arrow points you home.

The shared lake

Fish you take do not come back this game, and the room's lake remembers what is left.
