Why this ice fishing shortlist stays at four

Packice desk note. The ranking is capped so every ice fishing card can carry a long review and a dated re-check without rotting.

Re-check cost

Four titles means four store pages to reopen on a protocol pass. Eight titles doubles the labour and usually halves the honesty when deadlines slip.

Contrast without clutter

Derby, Clash, Boat Fish Hunting, and Frozen Fisher already cover Sports hole, Sports simulator width, Adventure boat Free, and Adventure idle ads/IAP. Extra near-duplicates would not teach a new ice fishing lesson.

What four refuses

The cap refuses “best of” padding, year-stuffed headlines, and invented download leaderboards. Absent App Store figures stay absent.

When the length might change

Only if a new listing introduces a clearly different ice fishing structure the current four cannot represent. Until then, length stays four and Updates stays readable.

Close

Shortlist length is an editorial constraint, not a store metric. Installs remain on the App Store; this note only explains the ledger fence.
