The point of the game is to make as much score as possible by making a row of ten by ten blocks without gaps. When you have reached the top of the rectangular screen, there will be no more falling pieces, and you have basically  completed the game, but in newer variants there is more lines and levels for players to complete (The originally one had only one level.) The more harder lines you complete without gaps the more points you will get.

But that is not everything, there are 500 million people total who have a job which connect to fishing. You need alot more than just the fishers. You will need the ones who brings the fish for example, and the ones who gutt the fish. There are alot more than just that, more than i can count in this post. 

There are a lot of people who fish just to have fun and for the expirience, others to it to get food on the table.
