Project Breakdown
In this competitive board game, people act as endangered animals overcoming the effects of humanity on the environment to find love and replenish the species. The first penguin to find love, by collecting enough tokens or winning a random love encounter, wins the game.
01
Scenario Cards
Players start by choosing a character representing an endangered penguin species. Throughout the game they must overcome obstacles in their environment with either a social, shelter or food theme. These are represented as scenario cards.
02
Action Cards
To defeat a scenario, a player must use an action card of the same theme (food, shelter or social). They must explain to the other players how they defeat the scenario by telling a story. If the other players are convinced, the scenario is defeated and the player wins a token.
03
Item Cards
Item cards can be used to help defeat scenarios. These are equipped in inventory slots on the character sheet.
04
Human Impact Card
Human impact cards describe changes to the penguin’s environment that are detrimental. These make it harder to defeat scenario cards.
