Manufacturer's Description

It’s a Fishy Tale
Imagine that you're a fish happily swimming through the Amazon basin and suddenly you come across a feeding frenzy of vicious piranhas! To stay alive in this Piranha Panic game, you must get all three of your fish marbles to the top of the stream. But be careful, the marbles might be attacked by big fish with even bigger appetites. In this thrilling game, you and your kids from age five take turns rolling the dice to see how many spaces to move and whether or not the piranhas will attack. To win players must be the first to get all three of their fish marbles to the top of the "stream".

One Dice, Two Players, Three Fish Marbles
Not only is it great fun, with piranhas snapping at your tail, it is also an excellent way to teach and improve core skills such as patience, taking turns, and counting. With two to four players able to join in let the frantic fun begin!

Fun for the Whole Family
The whole family can enjoy racing their marbles through this action-packed frenzy. The game moves quickly and is unique in many ways. Kids love the plastic board with its bright colour and piranha cartoon. Piranha Panic is easy to assemble and does not require batteries, so kids can start playing almost the minute they open the box.

Feeding Frenzy of Attacking Piranhas
This game entices children with its fish-flipping action. The dice tell you when to let the piranhas lose, but watch out once they are out the piranhas knock the fish marble back into the stream. This simple action is a delight for young players and the suspense when throwing the dice will have everyone at the edge of their seat. You and the kids will also love the marbles' cute fearful faces and the piranhas' ugly mugs. There really is something for everyone. Piranha Panic is a heart- stopping race that never really ends -- the first game is as fun as the last.

Customer Reviews

great game
we bought this game for our son for christmas after months of searching around and hunting managed to track one down. it is one of the presants that my son (who is nearly 9) has played with every day. very straight forward and a lot of fun for all the family. i would reccomend if you can find it anywhere.

Simple but addictive fun for all ages!

I collect games of all types, and when I purchased this one, as with the previous reviewer; I was sceptical on how it would be when I played it with my friend at Christmas. However, the game is simple and learned in a matter of seconds; it's mostly based on luck with a little bit of skill attached as to where you place your fish or place the Piranhas. We found it addictive fun, and would imagine that this game would appeal to all ages who didn't wish to learn a book of rules before sitting down to play. The only criticism we would have is that the fish playing marbles are not distinguished easily enough from each other, hence when playing, players are apt to move, or at lest begin to move someone else's fish! This aside, you're in for some simple fun!

Enjoy!

FUN
I was a bit sceptical when my wife bought this to play with our son, who is four years old. At first glance it seemed a bit one dimensional, and something that would become boring very quickly.
However, it has not turned out like that, and we are still being pestered to play most days! Games only last five or ten minutes, and can get quite exciting if more than two players are playing at once.
It is pretty well made, and provinding you don't lose any marbles it should last a good long time.
