Description

Pike the Penguin comes with the board and rules, players will have to supply two tokens for the whale and penguin, another two for the fish, and a coin.
One person is the orca, which moves around the edge (ocean) of the board, while the other plays the penguin, which can move anywhere on the 3x4 board (iceberg). The two fish are placed on opposite sides of the board.
Players take turns moving their pieces around the board: the penguin moves one space along connected lines, while the orca moves by coin flip (either one or two spaces) displacing any fish it lands on one space.
The penguin's goal is to get 3 points by eating fish (which are added back to the board), while the orca's is to eat the penguin.
