ICEFALL

A race game themed on ice climbing, in which two brothers scale a brutal wall of ice. The brother pieces are cute and the rules are simple, but the dilemma of choosing each turn whether the older or the younger brother climbs, together with the strategy of moving across the map, makes it great fun.

Each player controls a team of two climbers, an older and a younger brother, and races the others to reach the top of the brutal ice wall. Following the cards played each round, you must decide which brother should climb — but at times you may be in danger of falling, or unable to make good progress. Sometimes it’s important to refuel with a chocolate bar to save your strength. Which player will be first to get the brothers to the summit?
