Save the Arctic
Read full descriptionHide full description
Save the Arctic is a cooperative game about melting ice, limited paths, and careful planning. Together, you help two polar bears find food while a researcher removes trash from the Arctic. Each turn starts with a die roll: either you move a figure across the ice floes or shift entire rows or columns. The board is constantly changing - paths appear, disappear, or suddenly become blocked. But the ice is unstable: after each move, it becomes more fragile, creating gaps that can no longer be crossed. Every turn becomes a small tactical challenge. Your goal: feed both polar bears while collecting all the trash. You can only succeed as a team - or lose together if no valid moves remain. Features: • Original License • Cooperative gameplay - win or lose together • Dice-based turns with two clear actions • Dynamic board with shifting ice floes • Melting ice as a core mechanic • Short, compact play sessions • Supporting Game Center with leaderboard and achievements A simple game with clear rules and a meaningful theme.
