📖 About This Game
All the tasty fish have been eaten and it's time to make the yearly trek to the wintering grounds. Dash beneath the ice and be the first to the other side.
Players take turns racing to the front. As the lead narwhal reaches the edge, she decides how the path is laid out. But don't get discouraged: foil the leader with a lucky roll and force the race along inconvenient paths through slowing seaweed or around rocky walls. "Bump" into other players in the hopes of gaining a bit more lead with a lucky roll of the dice.
Arctic Dash is designed to keep the race close, provide a few avenues for light strategy, but also not penalize younger, less experienced gamers.
