Sunset Spoon
Spend this lure at a channel space to take a channel catch. It stays in the discard pile until the lure deck is reshuffled.
“Small enough for a pocket. Useful enough for a detour.”
03catchThree-point catch
Golden Lagoon Bass
Deliver this catch at a jetty for three points. At the end of the game, an undelivered bass is worth only one.
“A fine fish becomes a fine score only when it reaches the dock.”

Palm-Squall Crossing
The next player moves one fewer space, to a minimum of one. Discard the current after it affects that turn.
“Even a warm lagoon can change its mind.”
05taskMixed-catch bonus
Dockside Delivery
Deliver one catch from each habitat together and add two points to that delivery. This bonus does not replace a scatter ripple.
“The dockkeeper likes a varied story.”
Choose the table you want to learn
The basic lagoon game uses catches and lures. For an expanded table, give each skipper one Lagoon Scout to use once, reveal one current card at the beginning of each round, and make the Dockside Delivery bonus available to everyone. Resolve each current’s printed effect once. These additions are optional; agree on them before the first roll.
