Pingo Pingo

About this board game

Pingo Pingo is a frenetic action game for 2–5 players that plays in about 15 minutes. Set on a treasure-filled island guarded by penguin warriors and giant polar bears, it challenges players to react quickly, move decisively, and stay focused while the soundtrack drives the action.

On your turn, reveal the top card of your deck and place it face-up in the middle of the table. Each card demands a specific response. Be first to tap treasures, while watching for traps and critters and checking whether the music allows you to claim the prize. Camp cards let you steal cards from other players’ stashes.

Adventure cards create physical challenges that must be completed before the soundtrack’s “Pingo Pingo” cry. You may need to get up and run between bases to cross a suspension bridge, grab the gun and aim at bear riders, or tap a friendly monkey sorcerer to regain life.

• Race to collect treasures before your opponents.
• React to traps, critters, and changing card requirements.
• Complete movement and shooting challenges during the soundtrack.
• Manage seven life points while carrying no more than three treasures per life point.

Other challenges send you running to a shipwreck and back to shoot a gigantic space penguin, or grabbing and rapidly dealing out previously played cards to escape a penguin rampage. Every mistake costs one life point, so reckless play can quickly become dangerous.

After 15 minutes, the player with the most treasures wins. With its music-driven pace, physical challenges, and immediate card reactions, Pingo Pingo turns a simple treasure hunt into a lively race for survival.
