Fishing Games
Card games where you capture cards from a central
pool
by matching their values with cards from your hand. Like "fishing" cards out of the middle.
How Fishing Works
- Pool: Cards are dealt face-up to the center
- Capture: Play a card that matches values in the pool
- Add values: Some games let you capture multiple cards that sum to your card's value
- Trail: If you can't capture, add your card to the pool
