Ravensburger Jaws Board Game for Age 12 and Up - A Game of Strategy and Suspense 60001818

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 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

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.
