Set in a penguin school, the 3D board is made up of 5 classrooms, using a unique ‘box in a box’ set up, and players use different flicking techniques to move their naughty penguin around corners and through doorways in the game board to win a fish, while the Hall Monitor tries to stop them.
Everyone takes a turn being the Hall Monitor, so the number of rounds equals the number of players.

How to Play

|
---|---|---|
Game Set UpSecure the 5 game board boxes together with the 4 white fish tokens. Choose a color and take the matching penguin, reminder card, ID card and 3 fish tokens. Shuffle the fish cards to create a Draw pile, choose the first Hall Monitor and every other player attaches their fish tokens over the doorways. |
Playing the GameA player’s turn consists of one flick. Runners start in a classroom and slide through the doors to grab the fish. When a Runner gets a fish, he also gets a fish card, and when the Hall Monitor tags someone, he takes the Runner’s ID card. |
Finding the WinnerThe round ends when one Runner has gotten all fish of his color or the Hall Monitor has tagged all the runners. Before you continue with another round, you change the roles so every player gets to be the Hall Monitor. At the end of the game you reveal all the fish cards and the player with the most victory points wins! |
Family Fun
Ideal for families looking for amusement for all ages, ICECOOL is equally suitable for kids and adults. The special form of flicking pieces creates a new bag of tricks - players can make the game pieces slide, curve, jump, dive or bump against the walls in a game of skill, dexterity, precision and tactical thinking.
ICECOOL is fast, fun and with unpredictable penguins sliding, jumping and bumping each other, it’s always surprising!

Gameplay: One player is the hall monitor whose main goal is to run into the other players. Each player he runs into must give up their school id. The other players are "cutting class" and running around the school trying to collect fish by going underneath certain doors in the game. When either a players collects all of their color fish or the monitor collects all players id's then the round is over. For each fish/if you have you collect a fish card which has #1-3 fish on them. Whoever has the most fish wins once every player has been the monitor.The game itself is a series of boxes that create a larger game board the penguins will be running around on. The art work is cute. Players flick their penguins to make them either go straight, curer, or jump over walls. Hitting the penguins straight is easy. Getting them to go over the walls takes practice. Getting your penguin to go through a door, AND curve through other doors takes lots of practice. LOTS of practice. The key is to NOT hit the penguin hard.
Alt rules. Collecting the fish cards is okay, but somewhat silly. Why would the hall monitor not send the penguin back to class? What we've done is made the game not about the fish cards. Players still collect the fish tokens, but if they are caught by the hall monitor they must put back a fish every time they are caught. Also once they are caught they must go back to class. So how do you win? Any player that collects all three of their fish tokens wins the game. if the hall monitor catches you you return a fish and go back to start. If the Hall Monitor is IN the classroom then you can not leave the classroom! If the Hall monitor catches everybody and is in the start (classroom) when everybody else is in the classroom then the Hall Monitor wins. it sounds hard for the hall monitor to win, but it's not too hard believe it or not.
