Shark Bite Setup

Playing Shark Bite

You will begin your turn rolling the die. The number of fishes you roll on the die determines how many sea creatures you need to catch on your turn.

Shark Bite Die One Fish
This player has rolled one fish symbol. They will get to catch one sea creature this turn.
Die Roll in Shark Bite
This player has rolled the two fish symbol on the die. They will get to catch two sea creatures this turn.

Once you have the number of creatures you need to catch, you need to choose which ones you want to catch. You can choose whichever creature you want. Once you hook the fishing pole on a sea creature though, you must pull it up.

What happens after you pull up on the sea creature determines what happens next.

If nothing happens after you catch all of the required fish for your turn, your turn is over. Play passes to the next player clockwise/left.

Grabbing A Creature in Shark Bite
This player has successfully removed a sea creature from the shark.
