Shark Attacks!

Published 2012

In Shark Attacks!, each player owns a beachfront hotel, and business is good as long as the tourists who come to the hotel spend a lot of time swimming in the water. They enjoy their time, spread the word to others, and word about your fine establishment gets around. Unfortunately, the beaches are visited repeatedly by sharks – and if a bather gets injured by a shark, well, naturally your visitor count (and subsequent business) will be injured as well. Thus, you want to send as many swimmers as possible into the water when no sharks are about – and if sharks do happen to be swimming nearby and eager to taste a tourist or two, you need to ensure that as many swimmers as possible come out of the water unharmed. You'll receive points for both satisfied swimmers in the water and those who flee successfully from sharks. Shark Attacks! is limited to a production run of 500 copies.
