I thought Jaws was a fun family game and while I can understand it not being a hardcore gamers game what did you expect from a game they sell at Target. That said, I think people play the first half of jaws wrong. you really have to put out and buoys so that the shark passes through them. and use Hooper to move them around quickly since he can move 2 spots for one. Yes, the shark can bypass them with special abilities but they can only use it one time and then it’s gone and hopefully you use the scanner and Brody to call out the shark. The second half of the game is clearly in favor of the humans. The cards usually have the same spot marked on the boat or the boat will be damaged. That said, every game we have played has come down to one human and one hurt shark. My son blew up the shark with oxygen tank this weekend with Brody and that was just fun.
