St. Louis Public Library Board Games @ Central

Welcome to the Board Games @ Central LibGuide! This guide provides information about the board game collection at the St. Louis Public Library's Central Branch.

Get Bit!

From the Librarian: Get Bit! is a thrilling card game where players race to escape a hungry shark, strategically playing cards to avoid becoming the next victim. You might like it if you enjoy fast-paced, push-your-luck games with a bit of bluffing.


 

 Cover of Get Bit! board game. Features a pink shark and swimmers in water, with a rubber duck and soap on a shelf above. Text reads: A game of swimming faster than your friends.

From the Publisher: In this numbers based game, you and the other toys thought you were alone in the tub... but that familiar squeaking can only mean one thing: rubber shark! It’s time to get swimmin’ so you don’t get bit! Remember: you don’t have to swim faster than the shark, you just have to swim faster than your friends! Choose an action figure and collect all the numbered cards of the same color. Choose a card and place it face down. The whole table then reveals their cards. The lowest untied number gets to go to the front of the line and so on until all cards are played. Then, the last one in line gets bit! Your action figure will lose a limb! And once all limbs are lost? You're out of the game.
