"Shallow Regrets is an 18-card wallet game that is easy to transport, teach, and set up. All players start with 0 fishhooks, so they should be aiming to catch fish whose card backs show small shadows, indicating that those fish require 0 hooks to catch, in the early-game."
"On their turn, a player will go fishing by drawing any two cards from the sea. Players must catch one of the two fish, if able, by comparing the required fishhooks (0-5) with what they currently have on their existing fish. The other fish will be returned to the sea."
"Once players have caught fish, at the beginning of any future turn (prior to fishing), they may tap any of the caught fish in their collection to trigger its one-time special ability. Gameplay continues until all fish have been caught."
Shallow Regrets is an 18-card wallet game combining horror themes with fishing mechanics. Players compete over 15 minutes by drawing two cards per turn from a six-stack sea and catching one fish if they possess sufficient fishhooks. Early-game strategy focuses on catching low-requirement fish worth minimal points but providing fishhooks for later turns. Fish cards feature special one-time abilities activated at turn start. The game emphasizes accessible gameplay with easy setup and teaching, making it portable and quick to play. Victory goes to the player accumulating the highest point value from their caught fish collection.
