Smile, You Son Of A...!

I first watched Jaws too young and have been scared of sharks ever since…so I was never a big fan of the movies. My Son (8) picked this and he had never seen the film. After playing the game 4-5times we watched the movie and he loves how close the game was to the film.

The game is a 1 vs many game played in two acts, the two acts are completely different, each are slightly unbalanced towards Jaws (Act 1) and Hooper, Quint abs Brady (Act 2) which makes for a very balanced and tense game throughout!!

The first act is a clever hidden movement game with Jaws picking off swimmers and skirting away ideally unnoticed. This is very easy to understand the rules are pretty easy and there are plenty videos to explain how to play.

The second act is a battle royal, with the strength of Jaws and the crew based on their performance in Act 1. Relying on weapons and die rolls the crew try to kill Jaws, whilst Jaws is trying to destroy the Orca and eat the crew who have fallen in the water.

The game is great fun, full of suspense, really well put together, full of references to the film and was really well priced at just over £20. This game is currently first one out after school and each game is very different!!

I would recommend this for families and grown up’s alike, although this comes with a caveat that my son is far less scared of sharks than me!!

In JAWS, one player takes on the role of the killer shark off Amity Island, while the other 1-3 players take on the roles of Brody, Hooper and Quint to hunt the shark. Character and event cards define player abilities and create game actions for humans and the shark. Gameplay is divided into two acts — Amity Island and The Orca — played on a double-sided board to replicate the film's story:

  • In the Amity Island phase, the shark menaces swimmers and avoids capture. Other players attempt to pinpoint the shark's location and save swimmers from shark attacks.
  • In the Orca phase, played on the reverse side of the game board, Brody, Hooper and Quint are aboard the sinking ship engaging in a climactic battle against the shark, while using additional action and strategy cards to defend the Orca from targeted shark attacks.

If humans kill the shark, they win; if the shark attack on the Orca succeeds, the great white shark wins.

 

2-4 PLAYERS | 60 MINS | AGES 12+
