A Penguin's Tale
The icy waters of the Antarctic sea beckon, and we embark on a journey with our penguiin friends to explore their frigid depths together! In this card-based adventure game for all ages, players embody brave explorers as they navigate through treacherous storms while encountering dangerous predators. The Construction phase involves creating your character's qualities before moving onto exploring the Antarctic in Adventure mode where you'll encounter other creatures like whales and seals along with hidden dangers beneath ice floes waiting to be discovered! In Resolution phases during play sessions (using a deck of cards), players reflect on their experiences, making decisions that shape gameplay.
