Arctic Survival

Arctic Survival is a 2-4 player game of predator and prey that takes place on a ‘tundra’ of 25 cards arranged in a 5x5 grid. One team plays as lemmings, who move beneath the tundra searching for food and water to bring back to their burrow. The other team plays as foxes, who hunt on top of the tundra trying to dig up and catch the lemmings. On the lemming turn, lemmings will roll, move, tunnel (by flipping cards) and search for resources. On the fox turn, foxes will roll, move, listen for lemmings, and pounce (by flipping cards in the opposite direction of the lemmings). There are also adaptations and natural events hidden that can help the lemmings or foxes respectively and additional player tokens of the carrion beetle and polar bear that can change the tide of the game. The game is designed to be both educational and fun. It can be used to teach about ecosystems, food chains, adaptations, abiotic and biotic elements, and the impacts of climate change. —description from the publisher
