Description

Man-Eater is a classic game that's all about having a blast with friends, and it's been bringing laughter and excitement to game nights since 1976. With simple rules that can be explained in no time, 2 to 5 players can jump right into the action, which typically lasts around 30 minutes. In this hilarious game, one player takes on the role of a sneaky shark, while the others play as swimmers trying to make a frantic dash from their air mattresses to the safety of the beach. The game is full of suspense and humor, as the shark player secretly plots their moves, trying to catch the swimmers off guard. The swimmers roll and move, hoping to avoid the shark's deadly attacks, and the shark strikes, trying to land next to or on top of its prey. With the added twist of special red herring dice that introduce random events, no two games are ever the same. The game's lighthearted and playful nature, combined with its social interaction and bluffing mechanics, make it a great fit for players looking for a fun and entertaining experience. Whether you're playing with the included game pieces or getting creative with detachable legs or even Jelly Babies, Man-Eater is sure to bring a smile to your face and keep you coming back for more.
