Jaws

In the JAWS board game, one player steps into the shoes of the menacing killer shark off Amity Island. Meanwhile, 1 - 3 players take on the roles of Brody, Hooper, and Quint to hunt down the shark. Character and event cards determine player abilities and drive game actions for both humans and the shark. The gameplay unfolds in two acts - Amity Island and The Orca - on a double - sided board, mirroring the film's story. In the Amity Island phase, the shark terrorizes swimmers and tries to evade capture. Other players must locate the shark and rescue swimmers from attacks. In the Orca phase, played on the reverse side of the board, Brody, Hooper, and Quint are on the sinking ship for a final showdown with the shark. They use extra action and strategy cards to defend the Orca from targeted attacks. If the humans manage to kill the shark, they win. If the shark's attack on the Orca is successful, the great white shark takes the victory.

To play the JAWS board game, first, decide who will be the shark and who will be the hunters. Hand out the character and event cards to determine each player's abilities. Place the double - sided board on the table and start with the Amity Island side. The shark player tries to attack swimmers and avoid being found, while the hunter players search for the shark and save swimmers. When it's time for the Orca phase, flip the board over. Hunters use action and strategy cards to defend the ship and fight the shark. Keep in mind that this is a fast - paced game, so make your decisions quickly. After each game, shuffle the cards well to keep the gameplay fresh. Store the game in a cool, dry place to prevent damage to the cards and the board.
