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!
ARCTIC:你想捕捉北極熊嗎?來吧,我們去玩吧!
你掃視著白雪皚皚的北極,希望能瞥見居民。您觀察到的同一種動物越多越好,但同時也要考慮多樣性,並盡可能將圖騰動物移向浮冰。
在 Arctic 中,你穿越風景發現動物,並且在自己面前建立一堆動物卡牌。你個人牌堆頂的卡牌是你「可見」的動物卡牌。每張動物卡包括四個訊息:
- 放置值
- 卡牌上描繪的主要動物
- 同伴動物
- 抽牌值
在你的回合開始時,將你手中的牌放入你的個人牌堆中,數量與可見動物牌的放置值相同。 (在你的第一回合,從你的起始手牌中的三張牌中放置一張動物。)對於每張你無法放置的牌,從牌堆中抽一張面朝下的牌並將其放入個人懲罰堆中。接下來,使用新的可見動物卡,將景觀中主要動物的標記向前移動一格,將伴侶動物的標記向後移動一格,反之亦然。最後,從六張動物牌的「河牌」中抽取與可見動物牌的抽取值一樣多的動物牌。 (如果你現在手上有超過七張牌,請將其丟棄到你的罰牌堆中,直到你有七張牌為止。)
每次將動物放入堆中時,從遊戲中心或目前擁有該動物能量卡的人中取出匹配的動物能量卡。只要你持有這張牌,你就可以在每回合使用列出的力量,例如將動物標記移動額外的空間,從你的懲罰堆中抽牌,或者在你抽出每張牌後重新填充河流。
當牌組用完時,您完成這一輪,再放置一次牌,然後得分。對於每種類型的動物,您根據您的牌堆中擁有的最大的該類型連續卡片組來得分。此外,您還可以根據完成的組數獲得獎勵。顯示您在遊戲開始時收到的動物標記,並根據它在景觀中前進的距離來得分。罰牌堆中每有一張牌就扣 1 分。誰得分最高,誰就獲勝。
