Title: Ice Flow Post by: Zarniwoop on 06 June 2008, 13:56:44 (http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/image/comgames/3925.jpg) (http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/gamesin.php?UniqueNo=3925)
The aim of this game is to try and get your 3 explorers across the Bering Strait between Alaska and Siberia using drifting ice flows as 'stepping stones' on your trek from east to west. Climb pack ice ridges using rope, and avoid polar bears using fish. On your turn you can move then pick up an item if there is one (providing you have a space in your backpack), you then have to move, turn or uncover a new ice pack. The pieces are very nice and well presented and although it takes a little while to get to grips with what you are doing it plays ok. The various resources very quickly get in short supply which then requires moving ice flows off the board to replenish the stocks. We came across a problem during play where one player (me) managed to blockade the other players last men back at the start. Whilst I would play this again this is not a game I would add to my collection. It just did not grab me, having looked at the game online and seeing how nice it looked I was looking forward to playing this but was left a little wanting. |
