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!
北极：想抓雪熊吗？快来一起玩吧！
你环视北极的雪原，希望能瞥见生活在那里的居民。你看到的同类动物越多越好——但你也想让你的观察多样化，同时尽可能将你的图腾动物移向浮冰。
在 北极 中，您会穿越地形并发现动物，从而在您面前创建一堆动物卡。您个人卡堆顶部的卡是您的“可见”动物卡。每张动物卡包含四条信息：
- 放置值
- 卡片上描绘的主要动物
- 伴侣动物
- 平局值
在您的回合开始时，将您手中的牌放入您的个人牌堆，数量等于您可见动物牌的放置值。（在您的第一回合，从您的起始手牌（三张牌）中放置一张动物牌。）对于您无法放置的每张牌，从牌堆中面朝下抽一张牌，并将其放入个人惩罚牌堆。接下来，使用您的新可见动物牌，将主动物的标记在风景上向前移动一个空间，将同伴动物向后移动一个空间，反之亦然。最后，从六张动物牌的“河”中抽取与您可见动物牌的抽牌值一样多的动物牌。（如果您现在手中有七张以上的牌，则将其丢弃到惩罚牌堆中，直到您有七张为止。）
每次将动物放到你的牌堆上时，从游戏中心或当前拥有该牌的人那里拿取匹配的动物能力牌。只要你持有这张牌，你每回合都可以使用所列的能力，例如将动物标记移到额外空间、从惩罚牌堆中抽牌，或者在你抽到每张牌后重新填满河牌。
当牌堆用完时，您结束回合，再放一次牌，然后得分。对于每种动物，您根据堆中该类型的最大连续牌组得分。此外，您还根据完成的牌组数量获得奖励。揭示您在游戏开始时收到的动物标记，并根据它在景观中前进的距离得分。惩罚堆中的每张牌都会扣 1 分。得分最高的人获胜。
