Pinguluu

Antarctic Egg Hunt

Penguins search for hidden eggs! Penguin figures are hollow and have room for one egg; there are 12 eggs in six colors and 12 penguins. At the start of the game, each penguin is equipped with an egg. Them all penguins are placed in the middle of the table and are well shuffled. Each player is given an ice floe with room for six penguins.

The active player rolls two dice and has two tries tie find eggs whose color corresponds to the color of the dice results. For each try, you may lift one penguin to check its egg color, the egg must be visible to all players. If you do not find an egg with a suitable color after two tries, the turn passes to the next player. But if you have found one or two suitable eggs, you place the penguin with his egg on your ice floe. But this does not make the penguin safe, because players are allowed to check the penguins on players ice floes, too. Whoever has assembled six penguins on his floe, or has most penguins when all penguins have been taken, wins the game.

For a game with very young children you use the rule, that a penguin on an ice floe is safe and secure; players can check those penguins for their egg color, but may not take them, they are only for memory refreshing.

Simple nice and nicely simple; a good mix of luck of the die roll and memory; you could even vary the rules further to mitigate the rule of taking penguins away from other players; you could rule that you can only take a penguin from another player when you have rolled a double of its egg color. Anyhow, a pleasing new edition of a cute game for children, with good components and very cute drawings.
