In this game, Penguins and Ice Bears meet for the very first time to hunt red Rubies, because, you know,they’ve totally never crossed paths before thanks to the whole North Pole vs South Pole thing. But don’t overthink it. They meet, and frankly, I have no idea how it happened either. Also, the Penguins have a bit of a thing for blowing up parts of the caves, because what’s a good game without a little destruction, right?

But fear not! They always manage to escape just in time. No animals were harmed in the making of this game.

Everyone will leave with Rubies in the end but only one can win this game!
