How to Play (Solo or 2 Players):
- Choose Your Dice: Select either the color dice or the shape dice, depending on the chosen game mode. For advanced play, both dice can be used simultaneously.
- Roll the Dice: Roll the selected dice. The outcome will indicate the color or shape of the fish to catch.
- Catch the Fish: Use a magnetic fishing pole to pick up a wooden fish that matches the color or shape indicated by the dice. The magnetic tip of the pole easily attaches to the metal pin on each fish.

- Inspection: Periodically check all parts for wear and tear. Discontinue use if any part is broken or damaged.
Troubleshooting
- Fish Not Sticking to Pole: Ensure the magnetic tip of the pole is directly over the metal pin on the fish. If the magnet seems weak, check for any debris on the tip or pin.
