Welcome to Pengy Island where you and your friends take on the role of Antarctica's greatest heroes - yes, we're talking about superhero penguins. Pengy and his Pals need your help to fight off the Walrus Gang, the Albatross Alliance, and more. The easy to learn mechanics help you get new players to enjoy the cooperative combat genre, while experienced gamers will find the strategic depth rewarding. Pengy Pals is a cooperative, dice rolling, combat game. Each Pal comes with two unique dice that are added to a community dice pool. The unique symbols and dice create challenging and fun decision-making for you and your pals. But be careful! The Enemies will use the dice you choose to instantly react. Take on the role of four unique penguin superheroes. Each penguin comes with unique action cards, dice, and abilities. Choose your favorite playstyle, and discover the hidden ways that every Pal can kick some Albartross butt. Let's just say, even the healer can pack some serious punch once you learn how. Characters must also balance the amount of Fish they have in their community Fish Storage. Players work together to build up the supply and will need to cooperate on the best ways to use the Fish available. Not only will you eat Fish to perform abilities, you will need to make sure you have enough Fish to keep your Pals well fed. The three unique Enemies create new challenges and new ways to play the game. This game isn't just about combat. Unique win conditions, like securing resources or surviving a killer whale attack, keep players on their toes. Challenging variants also keep the game fresh and rewarding for more experienced gamers! -description from the publisher
