Get Bit! Board Game

Product Information

Each turn, players select a card from their hand - which are numbered from one to seven - with the lower numbered cards putting the players further in front of the pack, whereas the higher numbers leave players trailing behind. It can seem unfair that the winning player is determined by whoever happens to be in first place at the moment the game ends. Escaping requires the players to swim as far away from the shark as possible, whilst their fellow robots are steadily consumed.

Make sure you choose wisely because once cards have been played, you and your friends will have to look on in horror as the shark mercilessly chomps a limb off of the trailing swimmer. Good thing your pirate buddies are out in the water with you because now all you’ll have to do is out-swim the other pirates.
