Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Untitled Document

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".

piranha fish game

 

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!

 

piranha panic fun for all the family

 

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 attcking piranhas

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all ages. 99/100., 29 Aug 2008
By debbie8355 "*" (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is the best activity game my children have ever played. We bought it at the beginning on the school holidays and it's still a firm favourite at the end of the holidays, not relegated to a dusty shelf like most others. I'm buying another today for a birthday present so I can't recommend it more than that.
It's loved by my 3,6 and 8 year old and is the first game ever I've found they will play together without adult help right to the end.
It has also taught my 3 year old to count. He's never been able to equate numbers on a dice with jumps, spaces etc before but he is now 'getting it'. The dice only goes up to 2 (2 sides 2, 2 sides 1, 1 side blue fish, 1 side pirhana) so it is very helpful in teaching very young children that dice numbers mean jumps forward in a game whereas with a conventional dice up to 6, younger children get too confused. That's not to say it isn't great fun for older children too. Even I enjoy playing this one.

The game is made of very sturdy thick plastic, even the detachable legs are child proof. None of that flimsyness which spoils modern versions of 'Guess Who' etc. A minor quibble is the fish in the small marbles are slightly hard to differentiate. The larger Piranha Marbles are fine. The top display clips on and off for storage easily and the bottom tray which collects the piranha eaten marbles also detaches.

The idea of the game is that each player has 3 marbles each and starting at the base of the slope their fish must travel upstream. The throw of the dice dictates whether your marble moves 1 space, 2 spaces, no spaces (blue fish) or if the piranha is thrown then the player throws again to see how many Big piranha marbles are launched under the slope to knock of players small fish marbles. It's random how the marbles fall so you can't tell if you will knock your fish or opponents fish off. If the second throw is a Piranha then everyone shouts 'Piranha Panic' and much hilarity ensues as all 4 large piranhas are launched. The launching device is a old slot machine type push handle which is easily operated while still being sturdy. The lagre piranha balls are tipped under the players small fish marbles and the clever mechanism flips a piranha over to where your small fish marble was previously sitting prettily if you are unlucky enough to get caught.
You can block off your opponents travelling upstream but suprisingly my children don't want to do that aspect of the game. They don't get competitive (which they do in games like snakes and ladders) they are just waiting and cheering on the next 'Piranha Panic'.
A good fun game that doesn't last hours and the children don't end up arguing or in tears. Bliss.

4.0 out of 5 stars FUN, 17 Oct 2006
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.
