Any chance to make a video tutorial on how to play? I need some visual to understand but better

Hey! Thats not out of the table, but currently i'm busy with a jam entry. I'll see what I can do

Question: in the setup it says "take 3 water cards and place them vertical" then later on the setup goes "take 3 water cards from the table to form a hand"

It never mentioned water deck, is it saying that after you align the lines, you can take those 3 cards into your hands? Or do you keep them there and draw 3 from the water cards instead?


On playing cards options, regarding the float it says "float on the latest placed card must be covered" this one I don't understand, is there any other better sentence or phrase to explain? From looking rest of rule book it sound like similar to fish rule which is if you have the float then I must keep it until I reach the fish. Also what does "the float can move to into any directional of the previous float


I think it took while to understand because the picture wasn't making sense until right now but the fish condition, it says it gotta cover the top of fisher card right? The picture was showing second to last card but I think you meant because it's the most legal way to place them assuming second to last was the most recent card to place therefore one place the fish on bottom right corner just enough to reach the fisher card. Did I get this one right?

Ayo! 1. Yes, you take those 3 cards to form your starting hand.

2: So as you stack the Water cards on the table, there should be only one red float visible at all times. New water cards must be put so that they cover the float on the latest water card.
The moving means that the new float on the new card (that covers the previous) can move into any direction in relation to the previous float. Meaning for example that you can place the new float even farther from the fish for example.

3: You have to put the fish card on top of either of the 2 water tiles on the fisher card. If i get you right, you got it right

okay, so only one red float should exist in play area.

so for example, if i chose water deck instead of my hand and I drew one with float symbol and im not close to capturing my fish yet, then i play that card as usual covering my recent played card but then i have to cover the float this next turn with water cards in my hand or in water deck. this one i think i get it now

the second paraphrase of the float movement is still not making sense in my small brain sorry 

but at least i get the idea of the "only one float symbol on play area" and understand the setup correctly. now i am motivated to print them later tonight and play them!!

Love these types of games. Would i be possible for more players. Maybe.

Thanks! Perhaps, I guess two players could alternate placing with 2 card hands, but thats just a guess on my part

Ah ok. Or unless i print out more sets and merge them maybe.
