Great explanation. The only criticism is I'm act 2. Brody used his pistol in the first attack to attack the shark that is right next to him. The pistol is a ranged weapon that can shoot anywhere. It would be a waste to use the pistol instead of the players melee weapon when right next to the shark. Long range weapons are valuable as they get removed after use, unless you have ammo.

Very well explained, simplified and made sense compared to other videos. Great job!! Much Thanks!!

This is an absolutely phenomenal tutorial. Thank you! Super helpful in understanding how this game works.

Very good! I noticed this game turned out to have a few more rules than expected, so this really helped. I had to watch it a couple of times and do a trial play-through but I think I have it now. Thanks to your video presentation!

Thank you so much for taking the time to give very clear and detailed instructions on how to play Jaws. This is one of the best “how to” videos I’ve seen!

Very good video. I've watched a few and they didn't go into anywhere near the amount of detail you did. Thanks very much.

Excellent video. My copy of Jaws was delivered to me today so I am looking forward to playing it. This video is a great breakdown of the rules.

[Drksoulgambler]

We just got this board game from Amazon and I can't wait to play it!

Many thanks to you for explaining the rules and how to play. I tried to read the instructions and it's difficult to understand because I'm more of a visual learner.

Just picked this up for my son who loves Jaws! Gonna put it on the table soon. Nice review.

[vorlon]

Great video and i found it clear and helpful. I realised at the end that you didn't give us any thoughts or opinions on the game at all really. It was pretty much only rules/how to play stuff. Be interested in what you thought of it, possible strategies, short comings etc etc
