Description

Shark is a classic economic board game that's all about making savvy investments and outmaneuvering your opponents. Designed by H. Jean Vanaise and first published in 1987, this game is easy to learn but challenging to master. Players take turns buying and selling shares, rolling dice to determine which company markers to place on the board, and trying to drive up the value of their investments. As you place markers on the board, you can create powerful groups that boost a company's share price, earning you and other players who hold those shares a tidy profit. But beware - you can also tank a company's value by expanding a larger group into a smaller one, causing other players to lose money. With its unique blend of commodity speculation, dice rolling, and stock holding, Shark is a thrilling game of strategic risk and reward that's perfect for 2 to 6 players looking for a fun and challenging 90-minute game session.
