Pisces: A High-Stakes Fishing Competition

The Pisces game is all about fishing, fish, and conservation. The goal is to obtain the maximum points by being the most successful at catching fish and receiving credit for implementing conservation measures to maintain a healthy population. Each fish follows a uniquely structured life cycle that models their real-world dynamics and susceptibility to overfishing, including snapper, tuna, sardines, sharks, mahi mahi, and crabs. Players select which fishing zone and species will present the best fishing opportunities each round. The availability of sea life to catch changes throughout the game, as the fish go through various life cycle stages and are harvested by the players. If they are abundant, they are easy to catch. But if they are overfished, it gets harder, just like in real life. Strategize to protect your stock from overfishing while collecting the boats and gear to tip the odds of a big catch!
