I admit that it can be a bit fiddly trying to get the ice floe tiles from the centre of the board, however it’s easy to fix if you mess it up a little whilst taking your starting tile.

From light play to a serious strategic mindset, this animated adventure is perfect for players of any experience level. As you hone your strategy with every new map, will the icy shapes lead to your demise or will you claim victory?We bought it as me and my 8 year old enjoy Forbidden Island but it's a little bit on the hard side for her and I was hoping this would be a younger child's version. It’s not a game I’m busting out a lot on my phone or tablet and is something I have used for friends kids or as a quick intro game with my parents before we fire up a slightly more in depth and engaging app for them such as Ticket to Ride.

The next pro is that the game has enough strategy and modularity that it has several metric tons of replayability. And when a penguin can't move, it's removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. BGG has a number of different starting shapes for the ice floes/fish, all of which will change the game. It was short, amusing, and fun to try to strand other players’ penguins on less-productive stretches of fish and ice.When a penguin can't move, it's removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. I picked up this game for my 2 sons as a gateway game into more advanced table top games, the game is simple which is what i wanted and helps with their planning skills.
