Penguin Kaboom
Players form a cooperative squad of penguins working to defuse bombs across an icy city before time runs out. Each mission uses a specific setup from a set of 15 scenarios with adjustable difficulty. On a turn, a player takes available dice (plus any they choose to re-roll), locks hammer results in a recharge zone, then assigns remaining dice to bombs and alerts by matching icons. Assigning at least one die allows rerolling the leftover dice, creating quick decision loops. Team coordination is required to clear all bombs before the timer or too many triggered alerts end the game.
