The most notorious member of the marten family, the Wolverine or Gulo Gulo, has earned its reputation for insatiable hunger well-deserved. When this beast chances upon a nest full of eggs, it simply cannot help itself. Likewise, the youngsters of the Gulo family-the Junior Gulos-are equally in eagerness to steal eggs, particularly those of the lady swamp vultures. Unfortunately, Junior Gulo's egg-snatching activities were curtailed when he got caught by the lady vulture herself, and now he has been captured and detained.
The Gulo family is understandably keen to rescue the young one, but here is the catch-while searching for Junior Gulo, they find nests with eggs. As greedy as ever, the Gulos steal such eggs whenever they find any. But this insatiable greed of theirs seems to be making the whole affair complicated. Every egg that was stolen delayed the progress because their minds were distracted by delicious rewards en route.
These vultures in the swamp seem to have learned the trick of what the Gulos do and now apply a rather cunning alarm system when guarding their nests. No longer is stealing so easy. Getting too greedy, careless, and clumsy for the Gulos entails a loud and frightening scare, as opposed to that tasty breakfast. No longer does it merely become a question of reaching Junior Gulo, but also managing one's temptation in regards to stealing eggs, without setting off the alarms among vultures.
Amidst all the stealing of eggs and laying of cunning traps, the Gulo family has to hurry and save their young one. The goal of the game is simple: whoever can jump furthest, without falling into the pitfalls of egg-stealing and alarm-triggering, will be the first to Junior Gulo. This needs skill, strategy, and a bit of luck to have the Gulos navigate through the swamp, outsmart the vultures while trying to satisfy their hunger.
The game ends when one Gulo reaches Junior Gulo and takes him out of the grasp of the lady vulture. The winner is the player who jumped furthest and completed his mission. A really entertaining mixture of strategy, greed, and careful planning, combined with a little bit of chaos thrown into the game by those pesky swamp vultures and their tricky alarms.
