The Fish Game
The Fish Game is a game where the goal is to catch as many fish as you can without depleting the population of fish in the lake. It teaches about sustainability in fishing practices and largely tells of the impact of humans on the water's resources.
You have 10 days to fish. The money you make from these fish will need to support your family for the next month. Each fish nets $2.
Each day, you'll choose whether you want to take none, one, two, or three fish for the day. There are two other fisher folk also trying to catch as many fish as they can - they will follow your lead, and base their catch on yours.
