A Fistful of Penguins Hitting Stores

Feb 1, 2012

You should be seeing the latest family game from Wattsalpoag Games sometime in the next few days and this title is A Fistful of Penguins. Yes, A Fistful of Penguins and no, that music running through your head is actually from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly not A Fistful of Dollars…

In this new family dice game, one to six players roll special animal dice as they compete to gather animals for their zoo.

From Wattsalpoag:

Here come the animals! Add lions, camels, and kangaroos to your zoo in this simple dice game the whole family can enjoy. Lions are a big draw, but they scare the camels. Those pesky squirrels will pilfer your peanuts, but a moose won’t go anywhere without a squirrel. And the more kangaroos the better. Use your penguins wisely, and you can have the best zoo in the country!

Roll the special animal dice to see which animals are available for your zoo. Some animals score more in big groups, some score better together, and some won’t score with other animals present. Spend penguin tokens to buy more dice or to reroll the dice you have. If you roll a penguin, you get another penguin to spend. Make the most money you can in three rounds to win the game.
