Don’t Rock the Boat
For 2-4 Players
Ages 5 and Up
CONTENTS:
 Ship with 3 Masts
 2 Piece Water Wave
 16 Pirate Penguins
OBJECT OF THE GAME:
Balance your Pirate Penguins on the ship without making it tip!
SET UP
 Put the Wave pieces together and place on a flat playing surface.
 Snap the Masts into place.
 Balance the assembled ship on the wave.
 Each player takes four Pirate Penguins.
 If playing with two players, each player should take eight Pirate Penguins. If playing with three
players, you should each take five Pirate penguins and set the remaining one aside.
PLAY
 The youngest player goes first. Place one of your Penguins on the ship – be careful not to upset
the balance. You want your Penguin to stay on, not fall off. When you put a Penguin on the
board, you must stand him up – no lying down on the job, matey!
 Moving to the left, each player takes turns putting one Penguin on the ship at a time. You may
place your Penguins wherever you want on the ship – just ‘Don’t Rock the Boat’!
 When someone rocks the boat and one or more penguins fall overboard, that ends the game.
Note: If Penguins fall down, but not overboard, keep playing. Only a Penguin falling off of the
ship ends the game.
WINNING
The last player who set a Pirate Penguin aboard the ship before the player who rocked the boat is
the winner! Celebrate in your best pirate voice and play again, matey!
