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!
How to Play
Your turn is divided into TWO possible actions:
A. Ice Floe Action
- move an ice floe according to the printed arrow
- rotate an ice floe
- place a new ice floe on the edge of the board (drawing a card from the deck to show which items are found on the floe)
B. Explorer Action:
- move an explorer from ice floe to ice floe using ropes to climb pack ice (broken edges) and fish to distract polar bears
- go fishing (use a rope and collect two fish)
ICE FLOW ends as soon as one player gets each of their 3 explorers to a different station in Siberia:
This player is the WINNER!
We tried this game out at the UK Games Expo 2008 and found it to be very enjoyable and will make a great family game.
