My 12 yr old loves penguins.  Here my "Bobsledder" penguin is heading back to base camp ahead of her "Olympic Torch Bearer".  Guess what we had been watching before playing?

Overview

from the rulebook: The penguins are looking for a cozy summer vacation spot. Having lived at the South Pole their entire lives, they take a trip to the North Pole for a change of scenery. Once they get tired of snow-ball fights (have you ever tried to throw a snow ball with a flipper?), they decide to race to the North Pole. The first one there and back will win! Walk, Snow Shoe, and Sled (by playing cards of the right color and number) to be the first player make it to the North Pole and back!
