Superman, Silver Surfer, Disco Stu, and Evil Monkey. It was subsequently released as a deluxe package featuring 16 really nice, pre-painted penguins. When this game was first released, it came with cardboard tokens to make the board, and little wooden penguins. The rules are simple enough for children to play, but there is actually a satisfying depth to the strategy and tactics involved that make this a good game for adults who want something simple to learn, but tricky to master. Looking at all those exclamation points, and those kooky graphics of penguins slipping around on the ice juggling fish, you might be inclined to be believe this is a children's game. The biggest problem with the title, and indeed the theme in general, is that is gives a false impression of what this game is really like. The game has since been republished by Fantasy Flight Games, and I believe they have removed all but one of the exclamation points. Now, I am looking here specifically at the copy of the game in my possession, which is the Phalanx deluxe edition. Just look at all those exclamation points.
I don't think I can start a review of this game without talking about the title. Hey! That's a lot of exclamation points! Really! Designed by Gunter Cornett and Alvydas Jakeliunas
