Cute animals on the front? Seems cosy.... WE WERE NOT PREPARED!!!!! From the race objectives to the complex programming of moves several steps in advance this is a very crunchy trip into the arctic. We love stumbling upon puzzles like this one, and we can't wait to tell you more about it....

Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
