"That spot looks good... Should I go now, or wait a bit longer?"
There are four necks in the river where salmon swim upstream. It takes time to see exactly which spot is the best,
but while you wait, another bear will sit there first. Choosing late leads to accuracy, while choosing early secures the spot.
This game revolves around that single conflict. It is not a game of reflexes, but a game of judgment.
■ Flow of a Round
· 5 seconds to prepare — Bet on the spot based on the "Salmon Probability" appearing at each neck
· 40 seconds to fish — See what the target ring is hooked on and choose "when" to strike
· 3 waves = 1 stage
· When a stage ends, select a bear again and purchase an ability
■ You can steal spots
You take a neck that is already occupied through physical struggle. You choose between tug-of-war, holding your ground, or a battle of wits;
As your opponent's habits accumulate, you can read what they will choose. However, the defending side has the advantage.
■ Three Bears, Each Specializes in a Different Thing
· Gomsuni — Fast on her feet and nimble with her hands. However, she is weak in physical confrontations.
· Beolchi — Long, strong, and resilient with arms. However, he is sluggish and clumsy.
· Kkyebo — Can spot the best spots immediately. However, his hands are slow and he gets pushed around in physical confrontations.
Since abilities are only valid for one stage, there is no disadvantage in switching bears. If the river changes, the answer changes as well.
