Button Shy Games Fishing Lessons is live on Kickstarter! Here are your discount details.
🕑 Added 2022-08-02 12:31:40 +0000 UTCIt's been a year since Leland Williams passed on. A year later, his family remembers his humor, warmth and – especially – his love of fishing.
In Fishing Lessons, you play a member of his family going out on a solo fishing trip. With a specific sporting goal in mind, you'll recall lessons and memories from Leland. If you piece together the lessons in just the right order, you'll have a great day on the lake!
The first important thing is the campaign link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/239309591/fishing-lessons
NOTE
Wallet Game Monthly and Ltd Everything supporters (with or without RPGs): Fishing Lessons with the Family Friends expansion will be offered as the Featured Game in an upcoming BGotMC package. The Fabled Fish expansion will be the bonus content in the same package.
Ltd Postcard Plus supporters: Fishing Lessons Fabled Fish expansion will be the bonus content in a future package.
The two new Unsurmountable expansions (Acclimatization and Rescue Mission) will NOT be in any future packages. If you would like only these two expansions packed in the Unsurmountable Expansion Collection Wallet to complete your collection or the additional empty wallets for the Expansion Collections of Food Chain Island and Ugly Gryphon Inn, we have a special item on our website just for you. It is not eligible for your Board Game of the Month Club discount as none of these items are Wallet Games, but if you add another eligible item to the order the discount can be applied. Remember that your whole order will be held until the Kickstarter reaches fulfillment.
As a member you will receive a discount, and all of the details are below. Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.

It’s been a year since Leland Williams passed on. A year later, his family remembers his humor, warmth and – especially – his love of fishing. You play a member of his family going out on a solo fishing trip. With a specific sporting goal in mind, you’ll recall lessons and memories from Leland. If you piece together the lessons in just the right order, you’ll have a great day on the lake!
In Fishing Lessons you’ll play through a series of rounds representing the course of your day. At the start of the game you’ll pick a family member, each with their own unique goal. During each round you’ll recall a new Lesson, adding it to your list of steps that you’ll then run through in order. Lessons are used to move your character’s boat along the row of Lake cards or to flip Lake cards to hide or reveal the fish you need to complete your character’s goal. Meet the goal at the right time, based on your chosen difficulty level, to win the game!
The Family Friends expansion is included with all pledges. This 3-card expansion mixes up your memories by adding 2 new Lesson cards. These are shuffled in with the deck and then 2 random Lessons are removed, making your day on the lake less predictable. These Lessons also feature an option with a mandatory movement direction, giving you less control over your boat.
It also includes an additional double-sided Family card, adding two new characters with their own goals to complete.
You can also add the Fabled Fish expansion to your pledge. This 4-card expansion adds a legendary fish. One of these cards will be added to the Lake at the start of the day. Whenever the fabled fish card is revealed, its unique ability will have a powerful impact on the game.
There are also two brand new Unsurmountable expansions available for the first time during this campaign.
There are so many more details on the Kickstarter page, including all the information about the two brand new Unsurmountable expansions and add-on wallets for the previous Simply Solo titles. Head over there for everything you need to know.

I've just seen this thread (and the "Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as a member") and realise that I might have messed this up quite a bit! I've sent you a message to describe what I've done and what I'm after - happy to fix in any way possible!
Button Shy
Not at this time, but they will be available separately to pre-order later...the additional wallet will not be available after the Kickstarter ends.
Button Shy
No. Shipping through Kickstarter is not free. Your club discount is not eligible to use on the Kickstarter or the website if there is not a complete wallet game in the purchase.
Andrew Williams
Is there a way to get just the Unsurmountable without the extra wallet?
Justin Yeo
If I were to get the empty wallets and the new expansions for Unsurmountable through the website, I would need to pay for shipping but if I get the same through KS, shipping is free. Am I correct?
Button Shy
Yes - they'll be on PNP Arcade to buy in the future.
Button Shy
The empty wallets will only be available during the campaign, so use the club items at the website to get them now or back the Kickstarter to get access to the add-ons and switch out the game in the Featured month.
temp_anon
Great! Just got the Unsurmountable expansions. Thanks for explaining the myriad of options available clearly!
Alexandre
Will the Unsurmountable expensions be available in PNP form in the campaign or after?
Stephan Lorenz
I need the Unsurmountable expansions w/ wallet, the wallet for Food Chain AS WELL as all the expansions and wallet for the Gryphon - what would be the best way to do that since I do not have to worry about the Fishing one since it will be part of the monthly club one. Thanks!
Seth
Sorry about that. I see it now even though I read the whole post, or so I thought. It's too early in the morning. LOL
Button Shy
The add-ons are available to purchase on the website for this campaign - the link is in the post. It's been really tricky trying to do just add-ons through Kickstarter and it takes up so much time we're trying something different here. https://buttonshygames.com/products/bgotmc-fishing-lessons-kickstarter-add-ons-only?_pos=1&_sid=f4aea5a9f&_ss=r
Seth
If the only things we need to purchase are Add Ons, should we enter the $5 shipping charge as bonus support?
Button Shy
Not perfectly. Sorry. It should get updated soon so check back in a bit.
Jocelyn Painter
The online calculator is for Battlecrest and not Fishing Lessons. Will it still work?
