Game overview

Dive into the life of two young seals and two young penguins

living at the South Pole. Together with your fellow players you

make sure that all four of them can grow up to adults. There are

two challenges. The ice oe on which the penguins and seals live is

melting and some hunters are circling around, trying to shoot the

animals.

The seals and penguins eat sh and krill shrimps. Each time they

have eaten, they grow so that they can move further. But since the

ice oe is getting smaller, they have to swim further and further to

reach the sh shoals in the deep water.

The major risk for the animals is caused by the three hunters. Their

boats move along the edge of the ice oe and dock at the coves

to shoot the animals. With the melting of the ice, the hunters are

getting closer to the centre of the ice oe. With patrol vessels and

helicopters, you can keep a close watch on the hunters so that they

cannot shoot. It is also possible to arrest one or two hunters.

Contents

Game board, 18 ice tiles (6 with and 12 without cracks), 3 red boats

(the hunters), 3 krill cards with a hole for the patrol vessel, 3 yellow

patrol vessels, 3 helicopters, 8 oval sh cards, 16 circular cards with

seals and penguins, 5 task cards, 1 spare ice tile, 5 other spare cards.

Aim of the game

Together you take care that the four animals can safely eat. As soon

as all animals have grown up, you win! When a penguin or seal gets

shot, the game stops and you have lost. You also lose when you

need to melt an ice tile with an animal on it.

Build-up of the game

In Antarctica all players have their own task. In the basic game

these tasks will be carried out in a xed order. In this way you will

get comfortable with the game system. To increase challenge and

dynamics, switch to the

advanced game. In the advanced game, the

tasks will be freshly distributed each round of play. If you dare, you

can raise the game level even further to

seasoned player or expert.

Basic game

Preparations

• Look over the game board. It shows six xed ice areas and two

types of water areas: the deep, dark blue water and the lighter

coloured shallow water.

• Shue the 18 ice tiles and put them on the 18 shallow water parts.

Take care that they are placed randomly. Each tile has two coves;

these are the places where the animals will move into and out of

the water. Make sure that the coves are in the right place.

• Take the red boats and place them in the three white coves.

• Put the three yellow patrol vessels into the krill cards and place

them on their starting places.

Put the three krill cards and the three yellow patrol vessels on their

starting place.

• Shue the eight sh cards and place them randomly on the eight

sh spots on the board. After that, take away the two empty cards

and put them in the game box. There are now two empty sh

spots.

• Place the three helicopter cards face down on the designated

spaces in the lower left corner of the board. Turn one of them face

up; this one is now ready to use. The other two are unmanned

until further notice.

• Take the two young penguins (with number 2). They have just

hatched; put them on the starting spaces with eggshells. Put the

two young seals on the remaining two starting spaces.

• Place the other twelve animal cards on their spaces in the lower

left corner of the board, from small to big.

• Choose a starting player together, for example the one who most

recently made a boat trip. This player receives the task card with

the spinning arrow (card number 1).

• The other four task cards are given to the other players. When

playing with four, one player gets cards 4 and 5. With three, the

starting player also takes the penguin card. With two, divide them

as you wish.

Playing the game

The game is played in several rounds. Each round consists

of ve tasks that are carried out in a xed order.

When playing the rst few games, read the rules and follow them

carefully. This will guarantee a lot of fun in later games!

1 Starting player: moving fish and hunters

The player that has the starting player card moves the sh and

the hunters:

• Turn the spinning arrow rmly.

• First look to see which sh the arrow indicates. Move the two

shoals with these sh to the two empty sh spots.

• Now look at the number belonging to the hunters. The three red

boats leave their cove, move along the edge of the ice and dock

at the rst, second or third cove, depending on the number that

the arrow indicates. They always move clockwise around the ice

oe.

• When one or more hunters dock at an ice space with a seal or

penguin, check if there is a patrol vessel on the water space near

this cove. If not, you will need to deploy a helicopter (see below

for rules on helicopters). When you do not have a helicopter, the

animal will be shot and you have lost!

2 Penguins: moving, eating and growing

The player with this card takes care of the penguins. The

penguins try to eat without being shot by the hunters. If a

penguin manages to eat, it grows at the end of the turn. In the

rst round of play it is not possible to eat and grow, but if you

take care it will probably be possible in the second round.

Moving:

• Each round, only one of the two penguins can move.

• Moving from one six-sided space to another counts as one move.

The number of moves is indicated on the penguin card. Moving

less is allowed.

• Moving into or out of the water is only possible at the coves.

• Penguins cannot move onto ice spaces where a red boat has

docked, unless a patrol vessel or helicopter is watching this

hunter.

• Coves with a red boat cannot be used to move into or out of the

water, even if there is a patrol vessel or helicopter present.

• You can move over spaces with another animal, but at the end of

your turn you need to land on an empty space.

• You have to end your turn on the ice, not in the water.

Eating:

• There are two ways to get food: catching a sh or eating krill

near a patrol vessel. In both cases you need to visit the six-sided

space holding the sh shoal or the patrol vessel with krill.

• If you want to catch a sh, swim to one of the two shoals with

the right sh species. There are small white sh, medium-size

yellow sh and big green sh. The bigger the penguin, the larger

the sh that it eats. On the penguin card you can see which sh

you can catch. The sh shoal stays at its place (you only eat one

sh).

• If you want to catch krill, you have to swim to a patrol vessel

with a krill card. All animals, big and small, can eat krill. But it is

available only three times in the game. Move the krill card to the

lower right corner of the board (you eat all available krill).

Growing:

• At the end of a turn in which a penguin has eaten, it grows. Place

a new penguin card on top of this penguin. Next turn, you can

move this bigger penguin by taking the whole pile of penguin

cards. You can grow only once each turn, therefore it is of no use

to eat twice during one turn.

• When a penguin has eaten for the third time, it is fully grown up

and can move only one step. But from now on, you may move

both penguins each turn.

3 Seals: moving, eating and growing

The player with this card takes care of the seals. The seals move,

eat and grow in exactly the same way as the penguins.
