A board game is a game in which counters or pieces are placed, removed, or moved on a premarked surface or "board" according to a set of rules. Games may be based on pure strategy, chance or a mixture of the two and usually have a goal which a player aims to achieve

I think it would be a good family game because it involves interactivity, adding numbers and a whole heap of fun. The aim is to have more money than the other players by the end of the game. You get to put your rod in a cylinder and pull out a fish, there are 8 types of fish they are Blue cod, Salmon, Tuna, Cat fish, Elephant fish a clown fish that has a chance card on the back (like monopoly), and the Golden fish which gives you $500, a free boat and the chance to take a fish off someone.
