ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus is provided which includes a generally hollow housing formed in the shape of a miniature shark having a pivotally mounted lower jaw portion. The pivotal lower jaw is mounted upon a horizontal axis and biased toward a closed position by a pair of resilient rubberbands. A plurality of game objects of different shapes and weights are provided to be placed on the lower jaw portion so that the cumulative weight of all of the game objects maintains the lower jaw in an open position. A set of cards determine which one of the playing pieces a player of the game is to retrieve from the lower jaw, and an elongated implement having a hook portion is provided to retrieve the game objects from the lower jaw portion. As the game objects are removed and the weight on the jaw lessened, at one point the lower jaw portion will snap shut under the force of the resilient rubberbands to terminate a round of play.
