📖 About This Game
Race your penguins across ice floes, while avoiding the hungry polar bear. The gameboard is a 4x4 array of movable ice floes; more exactly, each one is either on the right or left of its square, and this is critical for adjacency. You split your movement points between your penguins and moving the ice floes (which is good when you can shift several carried penguins), but sometimes the die has you move the polar bear instead. He chases after penguins, sending them back to the starting area.
The game has some similarities to the German game Im Reich des weiÃen Bären that was designed by Charles Lerue and published by Schmidt Spiele in the same year (1991).
