It’s been a year since Leland Williams passed on. A year later, his family remembers his humor, warmth and – especially – his love of fishing. You play a member of his family going out on a solo fishing trip. With a specific sporting goal in mind, you’ll recall lessons and memories from Leland. If you piece together the lessons in just the right order, you’ll have a great day on the lake! In Fishing Lessons you’ll play through a series of rounds representing the course of your day. At the start of the game you’ll pick a family member, each with their own unique goal. During each round you’ll recall a new Lesson, adding it to your list of steps that you’ll then run through in order. Lessons are used to move your character’s boat along the row of Lake cards or to flip Lake cards to hide or reveal the fish you need to complete your character’s goal. Meet the goal at the right time, based on your chosen difficulty level, to win the game!
