What to Expect

In this hand management game, you control two lemmings moving across a hex board. Players play landscape cards to move their lemmings, deciding when to discard or play cards tactically. Special terrain like water or hills require matching cards. You can push opponent lemmings to clear your path and aim to be the first to get both lemmings across the finish line.

Who Is This Game For?

Designed for families and children aged 8 and up, this game offers simple rules and about 30 minutes of playtime. It's suitable for casual players and families looking for a quick, tactical card game with interactive elements. No prior experience is needed due to its straightforward mechanics.

How It Works

Each turn you either discard any number of cards and refill your hand or play a card to move one of your lemmings. Cards show landscape types with numeric values that determine movement range. Playing a higher value card places a new landscape tile and starts a new pile. You can push other lemmings by spending movement points to clear your way.
