This race involves excitement and thrilling pursuit! Become a small one out of the four tiny fishes in order not to allow them to appear before an evil shark that's already very hungry. The sense of the whole thing is obvious-to move really fast and avoid getting caught!
First, the players roll the dice to determine how much they can move their fish. Every roll brings them closer to safety with the shark eternally behind, ready to close in on the slowest. You have to be quick on the draw and stay one fin ahead of the rest if you don't want to become lunch.
As the game progresses, a motorized shark starts slowly catching up with the players, its jaws agape, ready to gobble up any slow fish. If the shark catches up to you and swallows your fish, you're out of the game while the remaining players do the chase. It's a chase against time, where every roll is crucial!
The last fish in and the fastest out of his jaws wins the game. Lively action while the shark closes in on you is sure to have you racing fast and on the edge until the very finish of this action-packed game of Shark Attack.

Hi, I have the 1988 board game, however the shark moves backwards. Am I doing something wrong?

My kids love this little game. Something with fish and be able to bite you gets them all excited. Easy to learn how to play and you can even make up your own rules.
