Mare Polare (2004)

About this game

The Arctic natives go from ice floe to ice floe to catch fresh fish for their soup. Every Inuit family has their own special recipe and each one is of course, the best. The players can only read their recipe cards telling them exactly which fish belong in the pot at the beginning of the game. If a player forgets then only the oracle mountain can help him find out which ingredients he needs. Here, he will be able to see his recipe reflected in the ice. Contents: 14 ice floes, 1 with a mirror, 1 igloo, 1 iceberg, 4 Inuit pieces with a harpoon, 10 recipe cards, 1 dice, 1 bag with 64 fishes, instructions

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• 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 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
