JAWS

I really just became Ravenburger's favorite board gamer. My family plays A LOT of board games. We just love them. We can hardly decide on a movie or tv show that everyone agrees on, but board games are our great neutralizer. We have enjoyed co-op games in the past with such favorites as Pandemic and Forbidden Island, but none have the nostalgic feel and visualization as being in a Ravensburger game. JAWS is an excellent game. It mixes strategy with the luck of the dice. The gameboard graphics take you to Amity Island and Quint's Orca ship. The playing pieces- cards, tokens, beachgoers, and wooden ships-shark-and players are top-notch. The premise of the game is fun and fair to both the shark and the characters. The game may be a bit difficult for newcomers to co-op games but I must say that these directions are excellently written and are presented in a nice and thorough and clear sequence. Note: Ravensburger games do not come sealed in cellophane. Rather, they are taped closed. Suggestions for Ravensburger: Make the board a little bigger as such beautiful graphics on this gameboard should be displayed in a bigger format. Also, beachgoers should have a little beach container to be sunning in waiting for their turn in the ocean to possibly encounter The Shark. Note to Ravensburger: I volunteer to be a future game tester for you. I truly love your games!!!!

This game is cat and teen approved. We had a snow day and my teenaged nieces were over. We decided to watch Jaws while playing Jaws. It was a great time. I love the two different acts of the game that can be played in sequence or separately. We decided to start with Act One, and play Act Two later. The replayability is really there! I love the teamwork aspect of the game. The youngest niece had a blast playing Bruce the shark. She absolutely wrecked the rest of us. 10/10 will play again.

This was a surprise to me. It was a game my young grandson, who loves everyting sharks, could relate to. But surprisingly it was well thought out in planning the game to make rest of players group together to go after the shark which took som thingking for even adults. Captivating and fun. adults included.

This is a truly unique experience. I am a huge fan of Jaws, and when I found out there was a Jaws game that had multiple phases of game play - where you start out trying to protect people on the beach, and then a second stage where you work to defeat Jaws, I had to get it. I really like the unique game play. I personally think I like it most as a 2 player game, but it seems meant for 4, as a 3 v 1 game in 4 player mode which is different than most games I play. The components are nice, but not great (although I enjoy the meeples immensely), but I wish the game board was nicer - it is just thin and cheap, and a nicer game board would have done wonders since there really isn't all that much to this game (the board is small, so a nice, thick game board would have been amazing). The only downside for me is that it's game play is limited by the multiple players vs one. I am not a big fan of that, but if that is fine by you then you will enjoy this game (I would not really ever want to play with 3 people even if they say you can). This game has good replay-ability and won't feel the same every game, even though it will always be similar, so you can break it out every once in a while and it will still feel fresh and fun. It really does feel like you are a part of the movie.

This game is FUN!!! Be forewarned it does take awhile to learn but once learned you just want to play it over and over again. Gotta save the swimmers! There is a video you can watch of the game being played on YouTube also that will help you to also understand how to play the game so they don’t leave you hanging. There are 2 acts, (parts) to this game so it isn’t a short game. But you’ve got to give this game a try. It’s a well put together game. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very well made. Fun to play. Nice artwork and the two sided board for part one and part two is a nice feature!

I have had my eye on this game for sometime now and after seeing a few play throughs of this game and personally playing it, it was very easy to learn, very fun and I would recommend it to anyone who has been on the fence of whether or not they should get it. Price was reasonable, local stores have this game for either $35-40 bucks which is a scam, no way is this game worth that price.

Very good game gose good in my collection

This is a really fun game adaptation of the movie but it caused an existential crisis for me trying to decide if I wanted to be Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfus, Robert Shaw, or a giant man-eating shark. How is a person expected to make such a choice? No matter who you choose you win so I suppose that’s OK and I’m awaiting an expansion where you get to be Michael Caine and the shark gets points for making it personal.

Jogo assimétrico com mecânica de hidden moviment, com temática do filme Tubarão. 1 jogador controla o tubarão e outros controlam os humanos (o delegado, o oceanógrafo e o caçador), cada um com habilidades diferentes e complementares. O jogo tem 2 etapas totalmente diferentes entre si e que caputram muito bem a atmosfera do filme. É muito tenso para todos. Pontos positivos: - jogabilidade variada (a forma de jogar com o tubarão é totalmente diferente da forma de jogar com os humanos); - alta rejogabilidade; - atmosfera e tensão do filme caputrados de forma espetacular; - arte do tabuleiro, manual e caixa muito bonita; Pontos negativos: - jogo um pouco desbalanceado, favorecendo os humanos (mas imagino que essa tenha sido a intenção mesmo, deixar o jogo mais difícil para o tubarão); - a segunda fase demora mais do que deveria. Contudo os pontos negativos são facilmente contornáveis caso adaptadas as regras (basta, respectivamente, reduzir os equipamentos dos humanos na segunda etapa e reduzir um pouco os pontos de vida dos humanos e do tubarão na mesma proporção)

No es fácil de aprender, PERO VALE LA PENA tiene un excelente tema y te sientes en la película

Una gran opción para los amantes de la estrategia. Se mantiene fiel a la historia de Spielberg. Gran juego.

Jogo muito temático, chegou integro e bem embalado porem no anúncio dizia que não teria custos extras como impostos porem fui obrigado a pagar a taxa de postagem de 15,00 e tentei contato com o vendedor que não me respondeu...
