 fun game January 22, 2010

This is really lovely game that is much trickier than it may first seem. You have to balance all the penguins on the iceberg but the iceberg wobbles and slants so you have to be very careful. Obviously gets harder the nore penguins already on there. Kids love it!!

We bought this for Christmas (2009) having read the rave-reviews on Amazon. I have to say that although we did have some fun playing the game it didn't hold attention for very long. The 'ice-berg' sits on a spike which allows it to wobble on that point, and you then take it in turns to place penguins until the inevitable happens and they all come crashing down. As the penguins are so large and the ice-berg platforms similarly sized, its not possible to quite as delicately balance just-one-more-piece as you can in other balancing games (like the 'straw that broke the camel's back' games, where the small straws allow for minute balancing). That said, Penguin Pile-Up is pretty much what you'd expect from such a game... some carefully balancing, a big crash, and then starting again.

My 5 year old daughter got this for a present. We spent ages playing it. The white island balances on a stem and the idea is that the penguins are divided equally amongst players. Each one takes it in turn to place a penguin on the iceberg. The winner is the one who has no penguins left. Sounds simple except that it is a balancing game. Each time penguins fall off, the player who knocked them off keeps them, so has a lot more to get rid of. Fun for all the family and makes you giggle when there are a few playing it. Will be even more fun tonight after the kids are in bed and have had a few drinks when your co-ordination is a little off. Great game, no batteries needed, anyone can play, very enjoyable.

Wonderful, perfect for small medium and quite big kids and even better for drunk adults. A must-have for the rainy day cupboard.

A really fun and simple game which requires tactics and a steady hand.
I found I was having as much fun as the children as you can play to win instead of letting the child win.
