Hold Your Breath!*

Players assume the role of pirates treading water in the ocean, engaging in a game of "Hold Your Breath" to determine who is the toughest. The game consists of two rounds: in the first, players dive deeper using "Swim" and "Air" cards, while in the second, they must reach the surface before running out of air. Players can hinder each other with "Panic," "Shark," and other nasty cards, and the pirate who dives deepest and returns to the surface wins, but those who fail remain underwater until the next game.
