📖 About This Game

Become the leaders of scientific teams venturing into uncharted boreal territories to observe and photograph the Arctic’s most adorable inhabitants. Play cards from your hand to one of 3 locations on your player board to snap a photo and send your scientists sliding to the left and to the right - but only if their colors match the ones printed on your card! Line up vehicle symbols, race to claim objectives, and arrange animals in pre-determined end-game scoring patterns to earn the most points and gain everlasting fame at the Society for Polar Inquiry. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even get your own tiny snow-covered island named after you. —description from the publisher
