You scan the snowy expanse of the Arctic, hoping to catch a glimpse of the inhabitants that live there. The more animals of a type that you see together, the better- yet you also want to diversify your sightings, while moving your totem animal towards the pack ice as far as possible.
In Arctic, you move across the landscape and spot animals, creating a pile of animal cards in front of you. The card on top of your personal pile is your "visible" animal card. Each animal card contains four pieces of information:
- A placement value
- The main animal depicted on the card
- A companion animal
- A draw value
At the start of your turn, place as many cards from your hand into your personal pile as the placement value of your visible animal card. (On your first turn, place one animal from your starting hand of three cards.) For each card you can not place, draw a card facedown from the deck and place it in a personal penalty pile. Next, using your new visible animal card, move the token of the main animal forward one space on the landscape and the companion animal backward one space or vice versa. Finally, draw as many animal cards from the "river" of six animal cards as the draw value of your visible animal card. (If you now have more than seven cards in hand, discard into your penalty pile until you have seven.)
Each time you place an animal on your pile, take the matching animal power card from the center of play or whoever currently has it. You can use the listed power each turn for as long as you hold this card, such as moving an animal token an additional space, drawing from your penalty pile, or refilling the river after each card you draw.
When the deck runs out, you finish the round, place cards one more time, then score points. For each type of animal, you score points based on the largest set of consecutive cards of this type you have in your pile. Additionally, you score a bonus based on the number of sets you have completed. Reveal the animal token you received at the start of the game, and score based on how far it advanced across the landscape. Lose 1 point for each card in your penalty pile. Whoever has the highest score wins.

And let's celebrate the work done by Jiiru for the development, with the help from the Ludonaute team and Cédric Lefebvre, the game designer, for making this happen on our platform!
That's it for your Monday game release.
See you on Wednesday for another one, and until then...
Take care and play fair!
ARKTIKA: Ali želite ujeti snežnega medveda? Pridi, gremo se igrat!
Pregledujete zasneženo prostranstvo Arktike v upanju, da boste opazili prebivalce, ki tam živijo. Več živali istega tipa kot vidite skupaj, tem bolje – vendar želite tudi popestriti svoja opazovanja, medtem ko svojo totemsko žival premaknete čim dlje proti pakiranemu ledu.
V Arktiki se premikate po pokrajini in opazujete živali ter pred seboj ustvarite kup kart z živalmi. Karta na vrhu vašega osebnega kupa je vaša "vidna" živalska karta. Vsaka živalska kartica vsebuje štiri podatke:
- Vrednost umestitve
- Glavna žival, prikazana na kartici
- Družbena žival
- Vrednost žrebanja
Na začetku svoje poteze položite toliko kart iz svoje roke na svoj osebni kup, kot je vrednost postavitve vaše vidne živalske karte. (Na prvi potezi postavite eno žival iz svoje začetne kombinacije treh kart.) Za vsako karto, ki je ne morete položiti, potegnite karto obrnjeno navzdol iz kompleta in jo položite v osebni kazenski kup. Nato s svojo novo vidno karto živali premaknite žeton glavne živali eno mesto naprej na pokrajini in spremljevalne živali eno polje nazaj ali obratno. Na koncu iz "reke" šestih živalskih kart izvlecite toliko kart z živalmi, kolikor znaša žrebana vrednost vaše vidne karte z živalmi. (Če imate zdaj v roki več kot sedem kart, jih zavrzite v svoj kazenski kup, dokler jih ne boste imeli sedem.)
Vsakič, ko postavite žival na svoj kup, vzemite ujemajočo se karto moči živali iz središča igre ali tistega, ki jo trenutno ima. Navedeno moč lahko uporabljate pri vsakem obratu, dokler držite to karto, na primer premaknete žeton živali na dodatno mesto, črpate iz svojega kazenskega kupa ali ponovno napolnite reko po vsaki izvlečeni karti.
Ko zmanjka kompleta, zaključite krog, še enkrat položite karte in osvojite točke. Za vsako vrsto živali dobite točke na podlagi največjega nabora zaporednih kart te vrste, ki jih imate v kupu. Poleg tega dobite bonus na podlagi števila nizov, ki ste jih zaključili. Odkrijte žeton živali, ki ste ga prejeli na začetku igre, in ocenite glede na to, kako daleč je napredovala po pokrajini. Izgubite 1 točko za vsako karto v vašem kazenskem kupu. Zmaga tisti, ki ima najvišje število točk.

In proslavimo delo, ki ga je opravil Jiiru za razvoj, s pomočjo Ekipe Ludonaute in Cédrica Lefebvreja, oblikovalca igre, da se je to zgodilo na naši platformi!
To je to za vašo ponedeljkovo izdajo igre.
Se vidimo v sredo na drugem, do takrat pa...
Pazite se in igrajte pošteno!
