Jaws Review
Materials provided by publisher for review.
Just to clarify. I mis-spoke on two rules here. My hasty rules explanation sort of steam-rolled the rules. Just wanted to post for clarity here. (Check out the Geek & Sundry video for a bit more pro rules video).
1. When the Shark damages a boat section (18:00 mark), Brody would fall in the water. (All crew members on a boat section fall in if the boat section is either damaged or destroyed.)
2. The shark can attack a crew member that is in the shark's water space, but the shark can also attack a crew member that is in an adjacent water space. This is true for both a standard attack and all bonus attacks.
(We'd actually played it where the shark only gets a BONUS attack if it was in the SAME space... I don't think that would have changed my idea of the game though. Otherwise, our play experience was the rules as described here. Sorry for any confusion.)

About Jaws, from BoardGameGeek:
In JAWS, one player takes on the role of the killer shark off Amity Island, while the other 1-3 players take on the roles of Brody, Hooper and Quint to hunt the shark. Character and event cards define player abilities and create game actions for humans and the shark. Gameplay is divided into two acts - Amity Island and The Orca - played on a double-sided board to replicate the film's story:
In the Amity Island phase, the shark menaces swimmers and avoids capture. Other players attempt to pinpoint the shark's location and save swimmers from shark attacks.
In the Orca phase, played on the reverse side of the game board, Brody, Hooper and Quint are aboard the sinking ship engaging in a climactic battle against the shark, while using additional action and strategy cards to defend the Orca from targeted shark attacks.
If humans kill the shark, they win; if the shark attack on the Orca succeeds, the great white shark wins.
