High Rise Penguins

Build a towering iceberg condo and shed your hand in this fast-paced, family-friendly dexterity game from Alley Cat Games. Originally designed by Ryoko Yabuchi as Yura Yura Penguin, this lighthearted challenge is best described as "Uno meets Jenga," requiring both tactical card management and a very steady hand.

* Dual Layered Card and Stacking Loop: Combines standard color and symbol hand-shedding mechanics with physical building, forcing you to execute the physical challenge shown on the tower's top card before placing your next card.
* Physical Tower Architecture: Challenges players to construct an increasingly unstable vertical tower directly on the table, carefully balancing slippery round cards, large cardboard iceberg levels, and weighted ice crystal shards.
* Precarious Penguin Apartment Placement: Requires players to physically position wooden penguin meeples inside the rooms or open floors of the growing iceberg structure without knocking the unstable tower sideways.
* High Interaction Sabotage Deck: Packs distinct card actions to disrupt your opponents, allowing you to trigger turn skips, reverse the table direction, or force rivals to draw extra cards from the sea pile to hinder their hand progress.
* Clever Fail-Safe Win Conditions: Rewards the first player to completely empty their hand of cards, but implements an alternate safety score where the player holding the smallest hand instantly wins if anyone causes a structural collapse.
