Description
Icehouse is a fast-paced abstract strategy game that's all about quick thinking and clever moves. Designed by Andrew Looney and John Cooper, this 1989 game is played with 3 to 5 players and can be learned easily by those familiar with board games. The game is real-time, meaning there are no turns or rounds to slow you down - players place their pieces as quickly or slowly as they like, trying to outmaneuver each other. The goal is to accumulate points by successfully attacking or defending with your pieces. The game ends when time runs out or all pieces have been used, and scores are tallied. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Icehouse is a great game for a quick challenge with friends. Its unique real-time gameplay makes it a thrilling experience that will keep you on your toes.
