Presentation
- Time: 40-60 min
- Players: 2 – 5
- Language: English
The Otter Anglers is a lighthearted, competitive fishing game where players spend time wisely to catch fish, upgrade their gear, and relax by the campfire. As playful otters, you'll draw fish tokens from a shared pond (bag) based on your fishing gear, which can be upgraded at the Tackle Shop. Interactions come from competing for the best fishing spots and gear, but friendly conversations while fishing together can leave you more relaxed and is required to score points at the end of each day. After three days of peaceful yet strategic fishing, the otter with the most points wins!
