This heavily themed game feels like you’re getting two games in one. In Act One Hooper, Brody, and Quinn rescue swimmers, close beaches, and attempt to put barrels into the shark. The shark player moves stealthily around Amity, avoiding the barrels and chomping on swimmers. In Act Two, onboard the Orca, the heroes confront the shark in an epic battle. Simple game play and the movie nostalgia you can’t help but feel, make this a great one v. many game for 2-4 players.

One of the most unusual themes of our game library, this worker placement is all about–well, a library. You are a gnome character in a town in need of a new Grand Librarian, and you are just the gnome for the job! Send out your (whimsical) assistants to scour the various locations in town and collect the best books to add to your library. Earn bonuses for certain acquisitions sure to please the Mayor’s Official Inspector, but be careful to avoid the Banned Books! Our personal note on this one: be sure to take the time to read the book titles– they’re seriously “punny” and a big part of the joy in playing this game.
