About the Game

The Isle of Penguins is a competitive open-drafting and penguin-placement board game.

As a citizen of Squalls End, your expedition to the frozen lands of the north has suddenly become a rescue mission, and you must rescue as many penguins as possible before the ice melts. To succeed, you'll travel to ice floes, gather fish, study ancient lessons, and clear rocks from your uniquely shaped raft. As you rescue penguins, you must find a way to fit them all on your raft while protecting their eggs and keeping families together.

The game features:

Open Drafting: Manage your speed to stay ahead in the rescue, and claim the discoveries you need most. Penguin Placement: Rescue penguins, create families, and protect eggs, as you try to fit everything onto your raft. Simultaneous Play: Everyone searches the ice together, placing tiles onto their raft at the same time. Multiple Modes: Family, advanced, and expert modes, from young explorer to seasoned rescuer.

In The Isle of Penguins, every penguin matters. Will you master the ancient lessons, fill your raft, and bring every penguin home?
