Dump that day job and put on your hip waders. You're going into the shrimpin' business. In Shrimpin' each player has scraped up just enough cash to purchase themselves a brand spankin' new used shrimp boat. Unfortunately, not much money is left, and if a profit is not turned quickly the whole shrimpin' idea might fold on itself. Competition will be fierce and ruthless because there just aren't enough shrimp to go around. The fisherman who shrimps the most in the crucial first week in business will earn enough money to keep on shrimpin'. The rest will have to pack up and return to their day jobs shrimpless and hopeless.

Shrimpin' is a fast-paced card game where 2 to 6 players putter their boats around trying to haul in the biggest catches that they can over several days. To get a leg up on the competition, players use cards to mount special shrimp-catchin' equipment as well as to cause events and malfunctions that slow down their opponents. The object is simple: get the most shrimp and don't let anyone stand in the way!
