Perfect game for whole family!
My friends and I call it chess with a twist! It is not hard to learn the game and while it is a very simple game, it gets the competition going among the players. It was fun trying to have your own strategy and try to think ahead of other people’s moves. The only thing would be that the tiles did not seem to line up when we followed the directions to set the game up. Other than that, it is a very fun play!
Wonderful game that induces violent cussing almost immediately as people steal your coveted positions and fish. You’ll feel sheer joy as you block your opponents on isolated floes and see their hopes and dreams crsuhed.Great for kids too.
Awesome, fun, cuthroat little game.Get it. Such an easy game to learn but has so much value in playing many games. Would pick this over a few others.
Really fun, simple game, even a 4 year old can play it. The only drawback is there are a ton of little tiles.
Bought this for my wife (who loves board games) as a stocking stuffer last Christmas. We brought it with us as we made the rounds visiting family, and even relatives who usually don’t like board games joined in for a round or two and had fun. Strategy is easy to understand, but surprisingly deep for a ‘little’ game.
First off, do not let the fact that this is a travel sized game deter you.After having played numerous games, the size of the tiles and penquin models are ideal. Much bigger and you would have to have a larger playing area to play. I love how small it is for storage or transport, but it is plenty big enough to play.The game mechanics themselves are very simple and easy to learn. It is playable by children (it was a Christmas present for my 4-year-old, and she adores it) but there is enough strategy to make it fun for adults. The games are fast-paced. I can’t see one playing longer than 15 minutes, with no real down time.Also, the tiles amd models are all sturdy and of the excellent quality we have come to expect from Fantasy Flight.Thematically, this is a refershing change from all the wargames and dungeon crawls. It is a family friendly contest between penquins to grab the most fish on a very rapidly shrinking ice flow.Overall, this is a great game and a great value.
This is NOT the full-sized version, but instead the “travel” sized version of a game originally produced by Mayfair games. The original, uses full sized (Catan sized) tiles, and these tiles are less than an inch wide. How does it stack up?Durability- This goes to the Fantasy Flight games version hands down. In this production the tiles are very thick (albeit small) and printed with vinyl finish. The Mayfair version is printed on the same kind of tiles as Catan, which do not impress me to be honest. They are not as thick as these, and the ink on paper finish is no durable at all.Quality of Bits- Once again, this goes to Fantasy Flight. The print is on vinyl finish, and the tiles are HEAVY. they are thicker than the full sized game by far. The Penguins however, leave something to be desired. In the Mayfair version, the penguins are hand painted and finished to look like penguins, wearing different colored accessories to signify what team they are on. In this version, the penguins are simply solid colored and stuck in entertaining poses. They get the job done, but are not as pretty as the Mayfair ones. I imagine this is done to keep this version easy on your wallet, and do to the fact that they are small. The quality is where it counts so I supposed we should forgive FF this one.Gameplay – same as the original… A strategic and clever mix of moving penguins to take as many fish as possible while leaving your opponents buried alive by their mistakes. At my house, there are NO fr.
This game is super fun and a quick play!
I would give this 4.5 stars to be honest, and the reasoning behind that is that the game is sooo much smaller than I thought it would be. That being said, the pieces are great quality, very thick and sturdy.The game is very fun too! Very easy to pick up and learn, my 5 year old loves it and is now starting to understand the strategy behind it a bit too(trying to strand your opponent on small "islands" with low number fish, ect) So it is very easy for a young kid to pick up and learn the basics of strategy while still being fun for everyone else, which is exactly what I was looking for in this game!
