Arctic Armies

Arctic Armies

2024·Garrett Yonkers

2 players
15 - 20 min

From BoardGameGeek

In Arctic Armies, two teams of penguins throw snowballs at each other to score points. It's part area control, part deck builder in which your 4x4 group of penguin troops first throw snowballs in a ranged attack phase and then go head to head in melee attack. You use cards to buff both ranged and melee attacks, or use special ability cards to get an edge on your opponent. Switch out your cards and arrange your penguins every round to outwit your opponent. It's small enough to throw in your pocket for coffee shops, restaurants, or pubs. It plays in three 5 minutes rounds for a 15 minute, two player game that is simple enough for new gamers but different enough for veteran games who need a quick game fix.
