Pinguintanz auf dem Eis

Puzzling fun with pentominos

Five penguins sit on ice floes which move and change. You are asked to fit the floes into the board in a way that all the penguins are in their assigned positions. One penguin each is permanently fixed to each of the five floes, on one of the five squares of each Pentomino floe. You choose a puzzle from one of the four levels of difficulty, Starter - Junior - Expert - Master; each puzzle presets the position of one or several penguins on the board; the location for non-preset penguins you can choose yourself. There is always only one correct solution. In order to solve a puzzle you can change the shape of one or several floe: You can shift part of a floe in every floe - so you can transform one Pentomino into another to get a penguin to the correct position and to place the floe on the board without a gap. The solutions are included in the booklet of puzzles; the 15 starter puzzles are meant to explain the game and to introduce you to this kind of logic position and arrangement puzzle; the arrangement of the Pentominos is given, you have to position the penguins; in the Junior level only one or two Pentomino shapes are shown where they should be preset, and in the Expert and Master levels you only see the position of the penguins on a grid n 25 squares. Those levels need a lot of thinking and shifting of Pentomino parts to bring the penguin ballet into position.

Pinguintanz fits seamlessly into the range of position puzzles by Smartgames at Jumbo, showing the usual high quality; components are classy, the puzzles range from most simply to fiendish and the logic fun is huge.
