Hold Your Breath! is the final chapter in the " Get Bit Casual Trilogy" by Mayday Games but you don&t need to know ANYTHING about the first two games in the series to play this one other than that we are revisiting the dumbest pirates known to man They have been kicked off the ship by their captain in Walk the Plank & chased by sharks in Get Bit & now they face their final challenge In Hold Your Breath! each player assumes the role of a pirate treading water in the ocean These brilliant tacticians have decided to play a game of " Hold Your Breath" to see who is the toughest pirate because you know what else are you gonna do in the middle of the ocean facing certain death? The game is played in two rounds In the first round each player may dive deeper providing they have the " Swim" & " Air" cards to do so Players press their luck each turn since it is the pirate who dives the deepest in round one & resurfaces in round two who is the winner What about the losers? Who cares they are losers But if you really want to know well they dove down & ran out of oxygen before they could resurface so now they are just "resting" underwater until the next game okay? But we digress Players can play " Panic" " Shark" & other nasty cards on the other players slowing their progress In the second round each player struggles to reach the surface before he runs out of air & therefore decides to take a rest Most of the pirates may not make it back to the surface but the one who makes it back alive & dove the deepest is the winner Be careful though because if you dove the deepest in the first round you will surely have the toughest time getting back to the surface since A) you swam the deepest & B) no one else wants to see you make it back alive ...
