Fishing for Words Board Game
a game for 2-4 players
Need: Counters to cover the letters
Players take turns to find a word on the game board and cover the letters for the word.
The word must read across (going left to right), down or diagonally. Each word found
must have at least 3 letters. Once a letter is covered it can’t be used again. The last
player who can cover a word is the winner.
