Overview
Maneater is a fun beer and pretzels game with a Jaws theme. One player is the shark, while the others are swimmers trying to get from their air mattresses to the safety of the beach. The Shark player secretly plots his move, then the swimmers roll and move, and finally, the shark moves. If the shark lands next to a swimmer, legs are eaten; shark lands on a swimmer, and the swimmer is eaten. Special red herring dice adds random events. Swimmers feature detachable legs (you can also play this game with Jelly Babies). The game features art by comic book artist Brian Bolland.
