About Shark Attack!

Summary: The shark goes around in circle devouring fish. The last fish left un-eaten is the winner. Text on back of box: DON'T GET GULPED! It's a race! And a chase! And a swim-for-your-life escape! You are one of four little fish that encounter a shark with a ferocious appetite. You've got to move -- and move fast! Roll the dice and move your fish. But watch out! If you're not fast enough, the motorized shark creeps up behind and swallows your fish. You're out of the game.
