Be the first player to swim your three fish to safety!

SET UP

• Attach marble catch tray at the bottom of the
sloped Piranha Panic ™ tray.
• Snap on the two legs to the bottom of the tray.
• Snap on the backboard to the top of the tray.
• Click the piranha release lever to the upright
position.
• Make sure all piranhas are submerged and only
the blue of the stream is showing.
• Each player should choose one set of three
colored fish marbles. Hold onto your three fish or
keep them in the marble catch tray to start.

LET'S PLAY!

The player who can do the meanest piranha face gets to go first! Or if you can't decide, whoever is first to roll a piranha on the
die starts the game. Each player takes turns, and play continues clockwise.
On your turn, roll the die to find out if one of your fish gets to swim, or if the piranhas are going to attack! If you roll...
• A NUMBER: Move any ONE of your three colored fish marbles the number rolled. Start at the bottom row and swim
"upstream" toward the safe area. Fish can swim forward, left or right, but not diagonally. Also, fish cannot jump over other
fish, even if that means they cannot move their entire roll...or at all!
• A BLUE FISH: This little fish has come to say hello to your fish, but NOT to help them move. Count this roll as a zero and pass
the die to the next player.
• AN ORANGE PIRANHA: Watch out for the fish-eating frenzy! Roll the die AGAIN to determine what happens next.
A. If on your second roll, you roll a fish—phew...you're safe! Continue play by passing the die to the next player.
B. If on your second roll, you roll a number—that's how many piranhas are going to attack! Place that many piranha marbles in
the "piranha zone," the round slots at the top of the tray. Now, it's time to let 'em loose! Release the lever and watch the
piranhas wreak fish-flippin' havoc!
C. If on your second roll, you roll another piranha—it's time for Piranha Panic™!! Place ALL FOUR piranhas at the top of the
tray, release and stand back!
The piranhas will flip up and eat all the fish they can! Who's in their path? Who couldn't swim fast enough out of the way?!
• If your fish have been gobbled up, those fish must re-start their journey. Shake off your fins and get ready to swim upstream
again!
• Once the splashing subsides, flip the piranhas back over so the blue of the stream is showing once more.
• Continue to race upstream toward the safe area. You can have any or all of your fish on the board at a time, but you can only
move ONE of those fish per turn.
• When one of your fish gets close to the top, you do not need an exact number to reach safety—just jump your fish marble over
the "piranha zone" and dive into the safe area!

The first player to get their three fish marbles safely upstream wins!
