Setup is simple; just shuffle all the cards to create one deck. On your turn, you can either "draw one card from the deck" or "take one of the drawn cards." The deck is riddled with sharks, and each time you take a shark card, you take damage. If you accumulate a certain amount of damage, you're eliminated. Therefore, initially, you'll mostly be drawing one card from the deck. However, if there's a card identical to the one you drew already on the table, you must take both cards. One card inflicts little damage, but two inflicts a lot! The game ends when the deck runs out, with either all remaining players or the last one standing winning. Besides sharks, the deck also contains various special cards, such as cards that force the next player to take two turns, cards that return drawn sharks to the deck, and cards that eliminate players who are only hiding from special cards.
