Description
"You don't have to be faster than the shark, just faster than your friends!"
Get Bit! is a card game where players are competing to stay alive as the others are being eaten by the shark.
The order of the swimmers is determined by simultaneously playing cards face-down then revealing the values. The number on each player's card determines position in line (higher numbers in front, lower numbers in back), however ties don't move. The swimmer at the back loses a limb to the shark and is flung to the front of the line! The process is repeated until only two swimmers remain on the table. When this happens, the swimmer at the front of the line wins the game!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- elimination until two remain — Play continues with the remaining swimmers until only two are left; the swimmer in the leading position at that point wins the race.
- order-based bite mechanic — The swimmer nearest the shark is at risk of being bitten based on the revealed speeds; the lead swimmer is the primary target until someone is bitten and eliminated.
- player elimination — Play continues with the remaining swimmers until only two are left; the swimmer in the leading position at that point wins the race.
- Relative Movement — The swimmer nearest the shark is at risk of being bitten based on the revealed speeds; the lead swimmer is the primary target until someone is bitten and eliminated.
- Shark mode variant — An optional variant allows a player to assume the role of the shark, adding a new dynamic where one player actively hunts the others.
- Simultaneous speed selection — Players secretly choose a speed card from their hand and reveal it; cards are placed on the table to form a swim order, typically moving from low to high values.
