Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Ravensburger Penguin Pile-Up is a balancing act. Take one of your penguins and put it on the iceberg. The more penguins, the trickier it gets. You must take any penguins that fall off on your turn. The first to put all his penguins on the iceberg wins. You will learn cause and effect and fine motor skills.
Product Description
It takes some great balancing skills! Take one of your penguins and put it wherever you want on the iceberg. Sounds simple, but as more penguins are placed on the iceberg by all of the other players, it gets pretty tricky ! If any penguins fall while you?re trying to put yours on the iceberg, you have to take all of the fallen penguins. The first player to put all of his penguins on the iceberg wins the game. What Do You Learn ? Careful planning, cause and effect.
1-6 Players.
Playing time 20 minutes.

This is a game for developing steady hands in children as well as teaching them about balance. Dozens of plastic penguins are equally divided between players. The players then take turns placing penguins onto a tiered board that balances from the center like a loose lampshade. If any penguins fall off during a player's turn, they become part of that player's flock. Knocking all the penguins off does not automatically lose the game. The first person to get rid of all of their penguins wins.
Because fallen penguins re-enter play instead of knocking out a player, this game can run ten or fifteen minutes. There is some setup necessary as the penguins arrive in three pieces and need to be assembled. This is pretty easy but some penguins seem to go together better than others. Because the penguins are distributed evenly between the players with extras left out, the loss of a penguin or two does not keep the game from working. My kids have had a lot of fun playing this one, especially my daughter who is currently very into penguins. Check it out.

This game is a bit too difficult if plated as directed. We took our iceberg off the "floating sea" and instead let the iceberg stand flat on the table top. Little (and big) hands still find plenty of challenge piling the penguins on the berg. It's a lot of fun and even the 2.5 year old can play.

I purchased Penguin Pileup for my four year old niece. The game was very durable, worked as described and my niece loves it. I am no good at piling the penguins and usually lose which makes it even more fun for her.

more boring than other Ravensburger games
We love Ravensburger, but this is not a favorite around my house. Try Cat and Mouse or Labrinth...much more fun.

Fun for conpetitive kids!
The game was more fun for the older (7 to 10 year olds) because if you touch the mountain it will knock off most of the penquins...little ones had no defense against the rocking. Read more
