The Penguin Ultimatum

As court jesters, the players are trying to entertain the penguins - at the behest of their Emperor. The Penguin Ultimatum is about matching the type of entertainment and the entertainer with the audience's preferences. But the audience is fickle and quickly moves on to other entertainment.

Like other Eight Foot Llama games, The Penguin Ultimatum is a thought-provoking game underneath the whimsical surface. Players are jockeying to get the best scoring positions round an Entertainer and to make sure it isn't scored until they're ready. This means keeping an eye on what the other players are doing as well as taking advantage of your own opportunities. Challenging stuff indeed!

For 2-4 players, playing time 45 minutes: £15.00
 

The Penguin Ultimatum was designed by Jim Doherty and is published by Eight Foot Llama. It was selected for the 2004 Games 100.
