📊 Quick Reference

LocationRoll 1–4 ☀️Roll 5–6 ⛈️
🏖️ Coastal$2/pot$0 — pots safe
🌊 Deep Water$6/potAll pots destroyed 💀

⛵ Fishing Boat

$100 each
Needed to deploy craypots. Boats are tougher than you think — they survive all storms but lose 25% durability each time. Repair them or they won't sail!
Cost: $100

🪤 Craypot

$10 each
Drop as many as you own each round. In good weather they earn you money. In a storm at deep water, they're destroyed. Buy extras as a buffer!
Cost: $10

🔧 Repair Fleet

100%

Repair costs $20 per 25% restored. A fully broken fleet costs $80 to bring back to 100%.

⚡ Upgrades

Invest your earnings wisely — these can make or break your fishing empire.

🌊 Deep(4/6×$6)+(2/6×−$10)$0.67/pot

Coastal has higher EV — deep water is the gamble! (−$10 = pot replacement cost lost in storm)

📋 Rules

  • Start with $0, 1 boat (100% durability), 10 craypots
  • Deploy as many pots as you own (need at least 1 working boat)
  • Boats survive storms but lose 25% durability
  • At 0% durability your fleet cannot sail — repair first!
  • Storm + Deep Water: all deployed pots destroyed
  • Storm + Coastal: pots earn $0 but survive safely
  • Visit the Shop between rounds to buy, repair, or upgrade
⚠️ Sharks now hunt your Golden Craypot in every storm. Defend it here.

🦈 Shark Rules

  • A shark appears in 70% of storms when you own the Golden Craypot
  • Solve the multiplication question in 15 seconds to save it
  • Wrong answer or timeout: shark steals the Golden Craypot
  • Shark Cage charges are consumed one at a time automatically
  • Depth Charge is one-use only per game — use it wisely!
