Snip penguins to catch fish

The little penguins play truant for the final hours of school and go fishing. The five rooms are assembled according to the rules template and fastened with fish clips. Each player takes one penguin, one penguin card, one penguin ID and three fish in the color of his choice, fish cards are stacked face-down.

In each round one player is the Hall Monitor or Catcher, who wants to catch the other players’ Runner penguins; the Runners want to collect all fish of their color. At the start of the round each Runner puts his fish on top of the marked doors. Then all players have one move in turn; first, all the Runners, then the Catcher, each player snips his own penguin. If a Runner penguin moves completely through a door fish one of his fish on top, the owner takes the fish and one face-down fish card for victory points; if your penguin jumps over the door, you do not get the fish! When the Catcher penguin touches a Runner penguin or vice versa, the Catcher takes the ID card of the Runner, who stays in play. If you can display two fish cards of value 1, you have another turn, the fish cards stay openly on the table. When a Runner has collected all his fish or if the Catcher holds all ID cards of the Runners, each player gets one fish card for each ID card that he holds, and a new round is prepared. When each player has been Catcher once, you win with most victory points on your fish cards.

Not only Ice Cool, but super cool! Fantastic fun for children as well as for families, with some dexterity you can do incredible maneuvers with the penguins, and the scoring definitely takes second place to the fun in the snipping action.
