Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — Players draw cards, and can choose to draw from the draw pile or the face-up discard pile.
- Set Collection — Players draw shoal goals which define how they score points, such as largest group of connected fish of a particular type or largest amount of empty spaces.
- Tile Placement — Players lay cards (representing fish) down on top of other cards, with specific placement rules regarding direction and adjacency. Fish can cover empty spaces and other fish.
