Your family has long defended the icy pass between the northern reaches and the heartlands. As the swirling winds of winter gather, so too do the Night Sorceress' forces. She marches upon the pass and it's up to your family to once again defend the realm.
In Ice Fortress, you and your fellow players are working together, building a magical fortress out of elemental ice room cards and pillar dice to defeat an incoming army of magical beings and their leader. All players win if the sorceress’s Amalgam is defeated. All players lose if the night sorceress or her minions destroy the ice fortress's central tower.
The game fits 1 to 4 players and lasts about one hour. It's purely cooperative, with players taking on distinct roles to build up the fortress and fend off enemies. Because the players have completely different roles, they have to coordinate their moves carefully to make sure everyone's doing their part!
