City of Games announced The Isle of Penguins, a new standalone board game, which will head to Kickstarter on July 7, 2026.
This new game was designed by Frank West who created The Isle of Cats games (see ” ‘The Isle of Cats: Duel’“). In this game, players will travel to the north of Squalls End to save penguins before the ice melts. They will need to board a raft and travel to ice floes, gather fish, study ancient lessons, and clear rocks to help the penguins. The players will need to find a way to squeeze all the penguins on their raft, protect eggs and keep their families together before time is up. The game combines open-drafting and worker placement mechanics to create a unique gameplay experience.
This game is for one to four players (can be expanded to six players with the Late Arrivals expansion), ages 12 and up, and plays in 60 to 90 minutes.
