L'Empereur

Penguins leave their colony to reach the ocean for food, then race back to their own colony while avoiding blizzards and using help from others. Memory and tactics guide the journey. On a turn, a player chooses an adjacent card and moves their penguin onto it, revealing the card. If its color matches the penguin, movement continues; otherwise, the turn ends. The player then moves a white or black chip onto a face-down card. White chips allow a penguin landing there to move again, while black chips stop its movement. Penguins sharing a card of their color must travel together.
