Gone Fishing Tutorial: And how to win at it by JINKS...

 

  • 5 pucks are locked these are the fish. You must complete enclosures to get the pucks. You will also get an open deck.

 

  • Buy a pencil solution when learning.

 

  • No stealing at the start as the pucks are pinned. Equally you can't clean out an enclosure in Gone Fishing like you can in other card SuDoku's.

 

  • Everything is about getting down to the 9. This is a root game and you can not go up in straights until the 9 is placed

 

  • Mark pucks unsure by double clicking the pieces. To save the unlocks.

 

Worked Example to go with flash film.

 

  • I buy a pencil solution. Play a 10 and 9 into the middle enclosure just getting on with it, nothing very tactical.

 

  • Next play is a black 9 onto a red 10 onto the board. This left the red 9 playable. It is these little chains that keep you going. My next move again keeps a card I want up.

 

  • Carry on exploiting unlocks and generally playing to finish the enclosures and get the next unlock.

 

  • The flash film has play and rewind controls. Film also available as windows media(.avi) download. (This file won't work on a PocketPC Media Player so use it on your destop or get BetaPlayer PocketTV etc.)
