About the game

What is Public Market?

Head out to sea and fish to fulfill contracts in order to gain points and emerge as the winner in this tile-laying, engine-building game. In Public Market players bid on and draft tiles to play into an ice chest. Once the ice chest is full, players can go to the market to sell their latest catch based on the current market values and to complete contract goals. They then get a new ice chest and go back out on the open water to fulfill new contracts. Play continues until the ocean bag is empty. —description from the publisher
