"First Penguin" refers to the penguin that is encouraged to be the first to dive into the sea among its peers. They gather on the ice and embark on an adventure by collectively diving into the ocean in search of food. This action serves as a symbol of group leadership and courage.
In the context of the game, players exhibit the courage akin to that of the "First Penguin" and bravely challenge with their own strategies. Cube actions sometimes demand bold decisions akin to diving into the sea from the ice, and through these decisions, they embark on the adventure towards victory.

■Profile of the creatorI'm both a backgammon enthusiast and a dedicated handmade artist.
My journey with backgammon began in the late 2000s when I stumbled upon a backgammon board in a second-hand store. Over almost two decades, I've honed my skills. Still, I believe there's much room for improvement, and I continually strive to enhance my abilities.
Influenced by my wife, a ceramic artist, I've developed a passion for handmade crafts. Through her artist friends, I've been exposed to various artisans, enriching my understanding of creation. The birth of my son ignited my creative spark, leading me to delve into crafting backgammon boards and accessories. Collaborating with my teenage son, who has become a skilled backgammon player, on cube designs has injected new energy into my creations.
