Containing a rich history dating back to ancient times, board games delight children and adults alike with their playful nature. Though these games come in a wide variety of topics and themes, many games connect with the culture of their times. Wealth accumulation games reflect the growth of a consumer society, war games re-create familiar battles, and educational games prepare children for school and work. This game represents the popularity of fishing as a family-oriented experience, with parents often teaching children how to hook and cast their line. This game was most likely popular with families who planned to teach their children how to catch real fish when they grew older.
