In the game, your job is to tag penguins as they leave the Ice Floe and travel to their nesting grounds in the Antarctic region, called Rookeries. There’s safety in numbers, so penguins travel in groups called Waddles. You score Research Points for each Waddle you tag. Bigger waddles score more points. Waddles that contain Mating Pairs make Nests. You will score extra Research Points at the end of each Breeding Season if you tag the most Nests in a Rookery. You'll also get player-specific bonus abilities when you tag the Nests of the Penguin Species your Penguin Hero specializes in. Each penguin is represented by a Penguin Card with a number indicating its pecking order in the penguin social hierarchy. Only compatible penguins will travel together. There are six different Penguin Species that each like to nest in different places. You’ll need to carefully choose the Penguin Cards from the Ice Floe to score the most Research Points. The penguin deck is 72 cards: 12 cards for each species, numbered 1 to 6 (two copies of each card).
