Albatros Overload

 

The penguin goes off the cliff, and the albatrosses decide the score. Time the launch so the penguin meets one in the air and it is snatched mid-flight and carried, climbing as it goes; miss and it falls. Every bird brings its own lift, and the later rounds put as many as five of them over the cliff at once, so a good throw is really a question of which albatross you get and where it takes you. A kangaroo waiting below is another bounce, and the seagulls are only there for the noise.

It is the fourth game in Chris Hilgert's Yeti Sports, from 2004, and the one that changed the series' shape: the first three are a single throw and a judgement, and this is the first where the penguin's flight can still be extended after it has left your hands.
