Overview

Battle Penguins can be played with 2-6 players in a head-to-head battle to see who earns the most fish. Each game consists of three rounds of three goals each, and in each round you are vying for the first, second, or third place prize in three of four characteristics: strength, agility, wisdom, cuteness. Each combatant penguin has stats in each of the four characteristics, and you draft your army, then form three groups to battle others at each location. Some penguins have special abilities depicted, e.g., giving presents to other players. The winners receive fish based on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. Whoever has the most fish after three rounds wins.
