North Pole (2011)

About this game

from the rulebook: The penguins are looking for a cozy summer vacation spot. Having lived at the South Pole their entire lives, they take a trip to the North Pole for a change of scenery. Once they get tired of snow-ball fights (have you ever tried to throw a snow ball with a flipper?), they decide to race to the North Pole. The first one there and back will win! Walk, Snow Shoe, and Sled (by playing cards of the right color and number) to be the first player make it to the North Pole and back!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
