About the game
What you do in a play session
If you thought the chaos in Get Bit! was already at its peak, get ready to dive into the Dolphin Die expansion! This-expansion was born from the Mayday Games Kickstarter campaign and brings a fresh wave of unpredictny to the table. It introduces a new-to-the-game element: the Dolphin card and a custom die that can turn the tide of any-round in an instant.
Mechanically, it's simple but brilliant. Each player swaps their highest-numbered card for a special 'D' card. When played, instead of a predictable move, you roll the Dolphin die. This die is a game-changer, featuring numbers, a shark icon, and the dolphin itself. Rolling a dolphin can boost your value significantly, while a shark might bring the sting of bad luck. The expansion even adds a twist to the 'Walk the Plank'-style-play, where a lucky or unlucky roll can determine if a player stays on the plank or meets a watery fate. It's designed to add that extra layer of 'just one more roll' excitement that makes party games so addictive. If you love the fast-paced-nature of the original and want more-unpredictability and more-laughter, this expansion is a must-have for your collection!
