Penguin Pile-Up (1996)

About this game

There is much ado in the penguin colony. The iceberg shakes with all the commotion. All the penguins want a place on the iceberg, but only those who can keep their balance can avoid the icy water below! Steady hand and careful planning are needed to balance all your penguins on the slippery iceberg. If you succeed before the other players, you win the game! But if the penguins fall, you must start again with all the penguins that fell joining your colony.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
