Woopie Penguin Pirate Ship is a gripping family game: the penguin crew must be placed on a ship that keeps rocking on the waves.

In this pirate ship balancing game players take turns placing penguins on the deck or masts. It is not easy – the ship sits on a curved stand shaped like sea waves, so it rocks all the time. Any careless move can tilt the ship and send penguins overboard. Simple mechanics and lively play bring lots of laughs and teach healthy competition. It is for 2–4 players. The set includes a three-mast pirate ship, 16 penguin figures and a wave-shaped stand.

What your child develops

• Hand-eye coordination. Each penguin goes exactly in the right spot.
• Patience and self-control. Rushing can topple the whole crew.
• Manual dexterity. Small figures are placed carefully.
• Logical thinking. Work out where the ship stays balanced.

How to play

Share the penguins equally and take turns placing them on the ship. If one falls, it comes back – the first to place all theirs wins.

Let younger children place penguins without hurrying and count together how many stay on.
