WHY THIS EDITION EXISTS
Tidebound Table
Tidebound Table is an independent tabletop concept inspired by the fishing world of Big Bass Bonanza. Here, the action takes place on a twelve-stop lake route: wooden boats, illustrated catches and the satisfying decision to cast once more or head home.
The proposed table kit contains the route board, four boat markers, a movement die, the three decks, habitat scatter counters and a logbook score sheet. Use ordinary counters and a paper track when trying the concept at home.
