Waddle Waddle is a unique strategy game that features the designer's own photographs of penguins in the wild, taken in Antarctica, and a game board made from a map of the regions around Antarctica. Waddle Waddle's blend of open drafting, set collection, area of control, and push-your-luck is as fun to play as it is beautiful to watch, and you'll learn something about penguins along the way too. Game play is lightning fast, with minimal downtime. Whether you're playing two or six players, it's your turn before you know it. In Waddle Waddle, you play the role of a Penguin Hero, specializing in a particular Penguin Species. Each Penguin Hero is based on a real-life Penguin Hero who works to conserve penguins! They will help you to study penguins as they leave the Ice Floe and travel to their nesting grounds in the Antarctic region, called Rookeries. There’s safety in numbers, so penguins travel in groups called Waddles. As a Penguin Hero, you tag Waddles, scoring Conservation Points for each Waddle. Waddles that contain Mating Pairs make Nests. Score extra Conservation Points at the end of each Breeding Season if you tag the most Nests in a Rookery. You also get player-specific bonuses when you tag the Nests of the Penguin Species your Penguin Hero specializes in. Each penguin is represented by a Penguin Card with a number indicating its pecking order in the penguin social hierarchy. Only compatible penguins will travel together. There are six different Penguin Species that each like to nest in different places. You’ll need to carefully choose the Penguin Cards from the Ice Floe to score the most Conservation Points. Food is scarce! There is a limited fish supply at each Rookery. It costs one fish to play each Waddle. You might need to send penguins on a Fishing Trip to find more fish. And finally, beware of Threats, both natural and manmade, that appear each Breeding Season and make it harder for Waddles to land at each Rookery. The player with the most Conservation Points at the end of the game earns the title Top Conservator.

In the beginning, Viracocha the creator brought forth Inti, the sun god, and Mama Quilla, the moon god. From the union of these two gods sprang four sons and four daughters: the Ayar. These siblings were tasked with guiding the first clans and teaching them the skills needed to build a civilization. As they traveled the land in search of fertile ground, the Ayar one by one met their fates until only two remained to found Tawantinsuyu – the Inca Empire. In Ayar: Children of the Sun, players take control of one of the first clans, journeying with the Ayar across the Andes. Follow their teaching and improve your skills at farming, pottery, weaving, and reed bundling. As well as advancing your own clan, you must influence the progress of the Ayar, ensuring the survival of those who reward your most developed skills. Seek the approval of Mama Quilla through long-term strategy, and please Inti with tactical play. Be careful not to earn the ire of one of these jealous gods because at the end of the game, whichever one favors you least will determine your final score. The future of your clan – and the Inca civilization – is in your hands.
