Icy Dice 2020

This is one of the games featured in Dice & Ink: A Roll & Write Anthology, and exists as part of that compilation.

Icy Dice is a semi-cooperative worker placement and route building game: build sleds, harvest food, and brave the treacherous journey across a frozen ocean of acid, in order to trade food for valuable medicine. Beware, the temperature is on the rise, which could spell doom!

On your turn:

Roll the dice and assign the results to Harvest the food that grows so well in your village, Build a sled sturdy enough to carry drivers and goods across the ice, Or drive sleds to make trades and return with the goods! Plan your route carefully, because you can only pass over the ice so many times. Will you have enough space for the goods on the return trip, or will you leave a worker behind to rest? In any case, time is of the essence as the ice melts and jeopardizes your sleds.

Icy Dice requires six standard six-sided dice at minimum, but we recommend two sets of six standard six-sided dice, with each set in a different color. Components include one player sheet per player, and a shared sheet per game.
