Can you outswim and outmanoeuvre the ultimate huntsmen of the deep, the feared and revered Great White Shark? John chooses to play his number 4, Anne chooses her number 1, Beth chooses her number 4, and Ted chooses his number 3. A player is eliminated when all four of his or her robot’s limbs are removed, and the game continues until all players but two have been eliminated.

This may be a new slang, or just beginning in Atlantic City, but please believe me it was meant as a threat. To help with the guesswork, cards you play to the table stay there until you are either bitten or only have two cards left in your hand. It’s easy to learn and it will have you and your fellow gamers in stitches as you fall victim to the shark, or ditch your mates right in the biting line. Get Bit also has a number of small expansions - one of which lets one player take the role of the shark! A further mechanic that might impact which cards you play is that when there are only two swimmers remaining then it is down to sudden death.Gamer Network Limited, Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom, registered under company number 03882481.

A very scary thug here in Atlantic City told me yesterday in a very angry voice that I'm going to get bit. The rules are simple: Play the same card as another player and drink for the number of players who played said card.

This gameplay of trying to guess what other players will do and do something clever to preempt them is exciting, and it also makes for a lively game. So, watch your opponents, guess and second guess their actions, learn to bluff, bluster and ride your luck to victory.
