Penguins

Penguin cards are by far the most important card type in the game, as these are your main means of attacking and defending. Penguin cards are dark blue and reside exclusively in the Penguin deck. You will find these cards have two numbers at the bottom. The number on the left represents the Penguin’s attack value, and the right represents the health value. Any Penguin vs. Penguin combat is dictated by these two values. For example, if your Penguin has stats of **5 - 8** (5 Attack and 8 Health) vs. a Penguin with stats of **4 - 5**, yours would win this combat and the enemy Penguin defeated would go to the discard pile. However, if that same **5 - 8** fought an opponent with stats of **8 - 5** both would be defeated and go to the discard pile. Combat damage goes both ways and a Penguin is defeated when its health value equals 0. A player can choose to attack a single target with multiple Penguins within the same turn for stackable damage in order to defeat tougher enemies. However, once again, combat goes both ways and each attacking Penguin will take the full damage from the defending enemy. Penguins cannot attack on the turn they were played unless stated otherwise and must wait until their owner’s next turn to initiate combat. Equipment can however be equipped to a Penguin immediately upon being played (See Weapons & Armour). At the beginning of each player’s turn all active, surviving Penguins health values automatically return to full.
