Product Information

If you make a jump over a door with your color fish token on it, you do not receive the fish token. You must move through the door to receive the fish token! The game consists of as many rounds as there are players (except in a 2 player game). In each round one player is the Catcher and the other players are the Runners. Each round consists of 3 phases: Phase 1 - Round Setup

Yes, the ThinkFun Zingo Bingo Award Winning Preschool Game comes with an instruction booklet describing the rules and strategies of the game. Ice Cool 2 is a standalone expansion, meaning you can play the expansion without needing the base game (although its way better if you do have the base game, more on that later). The components in Ice Cool 2 are nearly identical to the original. There are 4 penguins and matching fish in different colors from the original. The cards have gotten a bit of an upgrade with the addition of tasks on the 1 value cards. A player can also use two value 2 cards to move any fish to a new doorway. The box setup is also very similar, being a mirrored version of the original. Finally, the rulebook has gotten a bit of an upgrade and is much clearer now. Developmental Benefits: By playing board games, children can increase their problem solving skills, communication skills, and hand-eye coordination. What use is Maths when you could have the easy life you see the other penguins having when you watch David Attenborough on TV? Cutting class is so much more fun and there’s plenty of fish to be had in the kitchens, so long as the hall monitor doesn’t catch you!As play progresses, the Catcher takes turns to try and hit the Penguins to eliminate them from the game and to collect fish cards to add to their score. The round ends if a Penguin gets through each door and collects all the fish or the Catcher eliminates all the Penguins. The rounds continue until each player has taken a turn to be the Catcher, whereupon you total up your points to find out who is the winner. The game ends after as many rounds as the number of players (each player will be the Catcher once). Count the victory points from your fish cards and the player with the highest total of victory points becomes the winner! Don't forget to also count your revealed ones! The Catan Board Game is a family board game for adults and family, an adventure board game for ages 10+, with 3 to 4 players and an average playtime of 60 minutes, made by Catan Studio.

Ice Cool is a stupid amount of fun. Not since Coconuts has there been a dexterity game that blew our expectations out of the water. We played this game a ton of times at Gen Con 2016 and the amount of cheering and laughter that erupted while playing this game was unreal. We always seemed to be drawing a crowd of onlookers as people walked by.Age Range: Make sure that the board game is appropriate for everyone in your group and that they understand the rules before playing. Each Runner attaches one of their fish tokens on each of the three doors marked with the fish symbol. ID taken: If a Runner's ID card has been taken, don't worry! He is not out of the round and can still continue to play and collect fish! The game ends when each player has been the Catcher twice (the players alternate between the rounds for who plays the Catcher and who plays the Runner).

Another interesting change is the two-fish-move-fish rule. When players draw a two-point card they can move any fish from one doorway to another. This can make the game easier for one player or harder for another. A small change that can make a big difference for struggling penguins. The basic rules and win conditions are the same in a five-player game. With six to eight players there’s an extra catcher. In this scenario, the hall monitors work as a team to bring their delinquent peers to account. Because catcher roles rotate, with seven players someone will play this role twice. This unevenness might ruffle the feathers of more particular players. But this game is best for light-hearted play. Brain games are an incredibly fun and engaging way to challenge your brain with activities that stimulate your cognitive skills. And there’s no better example of this than ICECOOL, a fast-paced and strategic board game featuring adorable penguins. Players gain victory points for catching others or for collecting fish. When either the Catcher has caught all the Runners or any of the Runners has collected their 3 color fish, the round is over.

The Catcher places his penguin in the Kitchen (box nr. 2) anywhere within the red lined area. The placement of Runners is described below. Phase 2 - Playing The Round ICECOOL 2 has won numerous awards, such as the Toy of The Year Award and the Creative Child Magazine’s 2017 “Game Of The Year” Award. The ThinkFun Zingo Bingo Award Winning Preschool Game is suitable for pre-readers and early readers aged 4 and up.

Each player, starting with the Catcher, draws 1 card from the fish card draw pile for each ID card they have. The Catcher will always get 1 fish card for his own ID card, plus an additional fish card for each ID he captured. A Runner will only get a fish card if he wasn't caught.

Frequently Asked Question

If the Runner completely goes through a door with a fish token of his color on it, he takes it and draws the top card from the fish card draw pile. You look at the card and put it face down partly covering your color reminder card. We had one game where the catcher actually jumped two walls and caught me on the other side of the board. To be honest, I wasn’t even mad, that was an amazing shot. It’s moments like this which make Ice Cool so much fun. Ice Cool is going to be one of those games where there will be cheers or cries of anguish as people make particularly difficult or impressive shots.
