Blue Penguin*
* 
Blue Penguin is a small trick-taking card game for 2 to 5 players aged 8 and up, where the cutest penguins score the most points.
What's it about?
The smaller the penguin, the cuter it is. The catch: the little ones always follow the big ones. You collect cards and hope to end up with the most cuteness points.
How it plays
The 60 penguin cards are sorted by color, and each color carries its own point value.
- Play a penguin card face up.
- The highest card wins all the penguins that round.
- Refill your hand back up to two cards.
At the end, everyone scores their cards by color.
Who is it for?
At just 15 minutes and very simple rules, it suits families and works as a filler. A variant shuffles the cuteness values for a random layout.
- Mini format for travel
- Sweet penguin artwork
- Quick to teach and play
