Icebreaker (2021)

About this game

Icebreaker is a two player game played on a hexagonal grid. There are three red ships and three black ships. The remainder of the cells contain white icebergs. The two players, Red and Black, take turns moving one of their own ships, one move per turn, starting with Red. Players are not allowed to pass and must move towards the closest iceberg. The goal is to capture the majority of the icebergs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
