The BigFish Card Game is a new fun game about sustainable fishing and ocean literacy, and was developed by CMS members Matthew Testoni and Asta Audzijonyte, along with Amy Coghlan. The game is now ready to go public, but needs help to get to off the sediment!
You can view the Big Fish Card Game - Kickstarter page and make a pledge to support this game to get it up and swimming.
In order to keep going they need to reach their stretch goals, which will enable them to take the game to schools and develop a collaborative game version. They are already close to the minimum goal, but there is a lot more that can be achieved! You can ready their inspiring story on the Kickstarter page.
