This is a travel variant of the “Penguins Pool Party” puzzle.

The format is the same as all the games in my “travel series”.

The object of the game is to place 2-4 “Penguins” on the board and fit the blocks of ice around it. Be aware not all penguin positions are solvable. To help, I have embedded in the lid 9 starting positions from easy (top) to master class (bottom)

This game is small easily transportable and can be played in a car, train or plane while traveling. It operates without batteries!
The lid has been designed in such way that it is easily taken off to use as a tray to hold the unused or not yet used pieces. 

I printed the parts with 0.2 mm layer in PLA. The smaller parts (clamp) with 0.15 mm layer. See the 3mf files.

The penguins are  printed with two color changes to make the piece more attractive. The design of the penguin is made under “artistic freedom” at least you can print it with simple horizontal filament change.

For durability, it is best to glue the clamp to the lid.

You can use pieces of filament for the hinge. Probably you have to ream the holes with a 1.8 mm drill. Also you have likely to sand the lid hinge part a bit for smooth operation.

When you print this design, please post it.

Game Rules

Choose a set up with 2-4 penguins in the "water”. Then try to fit all ice blocks around the penguins. Be aware not all starting possibilities are solvable. and having only 2 or 3 penguins can be more difficult to solve with all 4 penguins in the “water”. For starters there are 9 startup positions drawn in the lid.
