Get Bit!
Up Front is safe!
Swimmers in the water, the shark is chasing you, but you need not be faster than the shark, just faster than your friends, at least according to the designer. Each player has a swimmer and 7 cards in a 4 player game. The swimmers are laid out in a row, the order is not important, at the end of the row there is the shark. Now you play in rounds; each round comprises playing cards, move swimmers and get bit.
Each player chooses a card and all are revealed simultaneously: All swimmers with the same number on the card played for them are not moved. All other swimmers are moved to the front of the line in the order of the cards played for them; that is, the swimmer with the lowest card goes front first, then the one with the next higher card and so on. In the first round there is no being bitten, but in the following turns the swimmer who is last in line after all swimmers have been moved looses one limb. If this was his last limb, he goes out of the game, otherwise he moves to the front of the line and his owner picks up again all cards played so far. When there are only two swimmers left in the game, the player owning the swimmer in front wins the game.
Get Bit is a satirical position game with robot-like figurines, in which the only important thing is to choose a card that nobody else has chosen, so that you can go to the front and are not last in line and bitten, which gets difficult with 6 players. Rarely the oh-we-do-not-move-as-we-chose-identically mechanism was as drastically illustrated as in this game the robots losing arms and legs. The original publisher was called Robot Martini, by the way. Why?!!
