Polar Party

Penguins alone at Home

Little penguins, alone at home, are partying, they slide off icebergs and collect fishes, as many as they can.

Ice floe chips – most of them showing fishes on their back, but there are also some showing only fish bones – are spread out, floe side up, to form the Arctic Sea. Each player forms his own individual iceberg with tear-proof paper, puts it at the edge of the Arctic Sea and puts two penguin kids of his chosen color – awake side up – onto the iceberg. The homecoming track for the parents is laid out and the parent penguins begin at the start of the path.

The active player rolls the die: If the result is a fish, you take an ice floe and set it down as your unsecured stock. If you rolled Wilbur the Whale, he eats all your unsecured stock. If the die result is a penguin, you move one parent penguin one step on the homecoming path towards the igloo. When you have resolved your die result and have still got two awake penguins, you roll a second time and resolve this result, too.

If you want to secure your fish stock, you put one of your penguins to sleep on top of it, showing his sleeping side; those fishes are secure and cannot be eaten by Wilbur the Whale. When both of your penguins are asleep, you do not roll the die but move one of the two parent penguins. When all penguins are asleep or when the parent penguins have arrived at the igloo or the Arctic Sea is empty, you win with most fishes from your secure stock.

Simply enchanting. The self-made iceberg are a fascinating feature and the timely securing of some fish demands a little bit of tactic and provides an additional thrilling challenge.
