Pistol Shrimp

The Pistol Shrimp is the Third Horseman of the Shrimpocalypse, who together with the other Horsemen can end the game! As a Horseman of the Shrimpocalypse, the Pistol Shrimp activates whether it is played OR discarded. It can summon the Fourth Horseman of the Shrimpocalypse if it is in hand, and will otherwise reduce the hand limit to 3 and force all opponents to pass three cards to the left! 🦐✨️️ HOWEVER 👹 If it is played OR discarded before the First Horseman (Fairy Shrimp) or the Second Horseman (Mantis Shrimp) have been played, your next opponent gets an extra turn! Make sure Pistol only comes out once both Fairy Shrimp and Mantis Shrimp have gone into permanent effect! In real life, the Pistol Shrimp (there are over 1000 species—we use Alpheus digitalis in Shrimpocalypse) is a clever shrimp species with whose claws have adapted into underwater guns! 🔫 Their claws snap at a speed so powerful that it creates a cavitation bubble which collapses with a speed and power able to generate enough heat to reach temperatures up to 8600 degrees Fahrenheit! 🤯 They use these bullets to stun and kill prey! 💥 Use this Shrimp to stun your opponents into the 3rd phase of the Shrimpocalypse! 🦐🔪🔫
