Lucky Fisherman features four colors player colors, each with a pawn and 11 matching bait pieces. Each player spins a spinner and moves on the board. The color of the landing space indicates if you get to move your bait closer to a fish, move back, lose bait, spin again, etc. Once you get your bait far enough it goes in the net and you catch a fish. There are 5 fish to catch at a time and 8 total for the game. Your bait is limited, so if you lose too many bait pieces you are done.
