Description

In Jaws, one player takes on the role of a killer shark terrorizing Amity Island, while the other players team up as Brody, Hooper, and Quint to hunt it down. The game is divided into two acts, played on a double-sided board, which replicates the story of the film. In the first act, the shark menaces swimmers and tries to avoid capture, while the other players attempt to pinpoint its location and save the swimmers from its deadly attacks. As the game progresses to the second act, the action shifts to the Orca, where the hunters engage in a thrilling battle against the shark. With additional action and strategy cards, they must defend their sinking ship from the shark's targeted attacks. The game is easy to learn, but with a playtime of 60 minutes, it's long enough to get fully immersed in the action. With its unique blend of teamwork and strategy, Jaws is a thrilling game for 2 to 4 players that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
