They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.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.

If a player reveals a tie (his card shows the same number as another player or players), his swimmer can not move this round.

Be goofy, make shark noises, cheer when your friends are dismembered, be the host who makes Jaws references and most of all make sure to practice your agonising cries because no one escapes Get Bit unscathed. Having been producing news, features, previews and opinion pieces for Dicebreaker for the past three years, Alex has had plenty of opportunity to indulge in her love of meaty strategy board games and gothic RPGS. lists a player count of two through six on the box, but the two- and three-player games are variants with players controlling multiple robots.Since Anne's card has the lowest number and does not tie any of the other player's cards, her swimmer moves to the front of the line first.

I said Get Bit is a good ice breaker game and what better way to get the drinks flowing and everybody acting silly than to turn it into a drinking game.

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. This is a thematic game but with modest components, so it works much better if you really get into it. 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.

Get Bit also has a number of small expansions - one of which lets one player take the role of the shark!
