I'm normally not a huge fan of asymmetrical stuff like this... (one player is the shark, who is against anywhere from 1-3 other players as the "good guys" from the original film working co-operatively) but it does a great job with making both sides interesting and very playable.
Game plays out over 2 phases
Phase 1 the shark is trying to eat swimmers at the various beaches, and avoid being detected/tagged...you have a few possible options each turn plus 4 single-use bonus powers.... the good guys are trying to rescue swimmers, detect and tag the shark, and each of the 3 characters has different abilities they can use on their turn.
At the end of phase 1 (which happens either when the shark eats a specific # of swimmers or you manage to tag the shark twice) you flip the board over for phase 2- the fight.
Based on how many swimmers the shark got in phase 1 that determines two things:
1) How many extra single-use power cards the shark gets in phase 2
2) How many extra equipment cards the good guys get in phase 2
In this phase the good guys are trying to kill the shark, the shark is trying to either kill all 3 good guys, or destroy the boat... each side has a number of interesting options and mechanics toward their goals.
Definitely would recommend it as a lot of fun for this price

Myself and 2 others just played last night... very solid theme work and well balanced game...

Thank you! Got an email that it was on sale at Target but didn't feel like driving there.
Had more fun playing this than many more expensive games. Highly recommend.

This is also in a "3 for 2" category of Amazon. Some good options there for more games, such as adding Coup and Sushi Go if you are already buying this and don't have those games yet (would be <$5 each after discounts).

Once you understand and remember the rules you can get through a game in 45-60 minutes which is about all my boys can handle unless it's Catan Seafarers.
Just keep the rules handy - make sure to keep note of specific rules - obeying the "nearby" and "adjacent" rules are important to keep the gameplay balanced.
For this price it's worth it, even if you decide you completely abhor it, though you probably won't.
