Freshwater Fly - En

Freshwater Fly is the second standalone game in a series from designer Brian Suhre that integrates modern game mechanics with the surprisingly rich and uniquely refreshing world of angling.
In Freshwater Fly you will encounter a rushing mountain stream teaming with fish armed solely with a rod reel and selection of flies. To catch fish and earn valuable achievement points you will
need to carefully perform a series of tactical maneuvers while executing a deliberate and evolving strategy. Begin by examining the ever-changing hatch in the current and tie a fly to match
your target fish at just the right time and turn of the river. Then choose to cast upstream to drift your fly with the current and gain extra bites on your line or push your luck with a pinpointed cast
for the perfect catch. In either case it is wise to cast near rocks to boost your skill and uncover new fishing techniques while keeping your supply of finesse charged for the next challenge.
Your rondel reel which physically spins provides you different bonuses as you draw in your line depending on how aggressively you choose to fight the fish you've hooked. Applying drag for
instance will negate the fish's strength but leveraging your momentum could provide you a unique action to set you up perfectly for your next cast. At its core Freshwater Fly is a dice drafting
and set collecting game with elements of creative puzzle solving and pushing your luck. Each turn you select one die from the dice pool and assign it an action that relates to the particular fishing
maneuver you want to take. Higher valued dice typically earn you more powerful actions but accumulating lower dice totals can earn you free turns. The dice you select will also unlock or
multiply various bonus actions you can use to solve the most stringent fishing puzzles in unique and rewarding ways. The sets of fish and flies you collect will help you achieve personal and
common goals but to obtain victory you must focus on those goals which overlap in the most valuable ways while not falling behind in your total fish count. The game ends when a single player
catches a seventh fish achievement points are awarded and the winner is declared.
