It is time to return to ice school where the young penguins are racing around to grab the fish before getting caught again by the Hall Monitor.
Icecool 2 is a dexterity game where you will be flicking penguins around the board. Each round one of the players takes the role of the Hall Monitor (also called "the Catcher") – his aim will be to catch each of the other penguin and get points for doing so. The other peguins known as "Runners" will try to run through several doors, thus gaining fish (that give them points) on their way while avoiding the Hall Monitor. When either the Hall Monitor has caught each of the other penguins once or any of the others has gone through all 3 doors that have fish on them, the round is over. The game is played over a number of rounds equal to the number of players so each player gets a chance to play as the Hall Monitor once then the game ends. The player with the most points on their fish cards is the winner.
This game can either be played as a standalone or as an expansion to the original game Icecool. Icecool 2 is a great step up from the original game adding tasks on 1 point cards, special fish-moving powers on 2 point cards as well as optional tournament scoring. You can also combine this game with the original Icecool to open up new layouts, a new game mode and make the game playable for up to 8 players.
Can you adapt your strategy and slide into first place?
