You thought it would be a nice relaxed day on the water, waiting for the fish to bite and watching the clouds drift by... but now it's a frantic race to catch the biggest fish and prove once and for all who is the best fisherman!
Use the right bait with your best rod and reel to lure out the biggest fish you can catch! Make sure you have the gear you really need so you can beat the competition and get those fish faster!
In Crazy Fishing two to six players become fishers who compete to catch the biggest fish in the sea. You play over a number of rounds divided into three steps: The cast, where all players play simultaneously and choose and play one Rod'n'Reel card and one Bait card; The catch, where they catch fish based on the Speed of the Rod'n'Reel cards and Reel'em in! where you refill your hand. The winner is the player who has the highest scored obtained catching fishing and bonus cards.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Initiative based card game — Players manage hands of cards, with rod cards determining turn order and bait cards dictating the strength of fish that can be caught.
- Set Collection — Fish cards are worth points, with higher strength fish being worth more points.
- Simultaneous action selection — Players simultaneously select and reveal rod and bait cards.

- So I'll start with my least favorite and work my way up to the best of them.
- Definitely a good framework of a good game here.
- So quicks get nothing to write home about. I think maybe it's been lost to the animals of time.
- But the premise itself is boiled down to those simple mini games which I must admit we have seen time and time again in different role rights. This one just seems to cobble them together.
- My my only issue is the the time investment side of things.
- So, if you are familiar with games like um Tawanaku, this one feels very similar to me, but certainly um way more rich and way more um thematic in the way that everything is put together.
- But this game has this magical ingredient where it's just so addictive and you just want to keep playing it again and again and again.
- So, that is Jungo, and I'll give that one a seven out of 10.
