Abstract: A tournament fishing game apparatus is arranged to accommodate a plurality of players, with the players directed along a game path formed with varying first and second spaces, wherein the first spaces direct a player to select a card from a pile of fish cards and credited with the catch indicated thereon, wherein landing upon a second space requires that player to select a card from a second pile of cards directing players to advance, retreat, effect a penalty, or effect a bonus relative to the player drawing the chance card. Culmination of the game is effected when all players have completed the game path with the largest catch of fish awarded by the fish cards presenting a winner.
