Not everyone will like this game (you need a bit of foresight, especially with a lot of players), but it is well made, and the game mechanic seems unique. You're a group of explorers trying to cross the Bering Strait, controlling ice floes, avoiding polar bears, and using fish and rope to get from one berg to the next. Very little luck, and enough strategy to ensure no-one gets too far ahead.
This game will test the ability of your brain to think, think, think. Play it when you feel like giving your brain a good workout because I can guarantee that your brain WILL be put to the test!
Don't play this with people who suffer from analysis paralysis, otherwise this will be worse than watching paint dry.
Game won't suit everybody – it really depends on who you're going to play with. If you like puzzles, then this will be right down your alley.
ICE FLOW is a family strategy board game for 2–4 players, aged 11+.
You oversee 3 explorers crossing the icy waters of the Bering Strait between
Alaska and Siberia – on foot! Use drifting ice floes as ‘stepping stones’
as you trek from east to west. Climb pack ice ridges using rope, and avoid polar
bears using fish. But beware the other players, who will attempt to slow your
progress!
AIM OF THE GAME
The first player to get all 3 explorers to Siberia is the winner!
ICE FLOW won Best New Board Game at the UK Games Expo 2008.
