Description
Ice floes filled with frozen weasels float by, and you must carefully chip them apart, pull out the furry popsicles, and defrost them. Be on your toes, though, because you don't want to get stuck with frozen monsters or miss your chance to grab the prized weaseltonium particles!
The game begins with a line of cards face up, representing an ice floe. Most of the cards depict a weasel frozen in the ice. On your turn, you may either chip one end off the ice flow and tow it away (take a card from one end of the line) or split the ice floe (separate the cards into two separate lines). If you have collected a matching trio of frozen weasels, you may thaw them to take an extra turn and score more points.
A separate deck of preference cards make particular weasels worth more or less to specific players, so part of the strategy is keeping your opponents from getting varieties they like while forcing them to take monsters.

I bought this for my son-in-law's birthday. Of course, before I gave it to him, I couldn't help playing a few rounds. Then made a nice tuck box for it. We played it together and had a good time. It ...

Gameplay wise, this is a pretty quick one. It can be very challenging to win the game if you are playing with skilled players, but the final scores will always leave players with points. This makes it...

Ice Weasels is fast paced and pretty. The introduction of the monsters and weaseltonium elements also give it a leg up on traditional set collection. The only thing I don't really like about Ice Wea...
