I bought this as a present for my nephew and it was a crowd pleaser for all ages. The games are short, easy to learn allowing for multiple people to jump in on the fun.

Not fun

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023

Wanted to like this game. The most important thing to know everytime someone flicks a penguin they typically follow that up with an exclamation of pain. Owww, that hurts, ECT. After a few turns both kids and adults do not want to flick the penguin anymore and dread their turn coming up. The game is fun to set up, taking the boxes out of the box and making a large board is entertaining but only takes a moment. You can't play this game sitting at the table everyone will be circling around the table as the penguins move there is no order to it. The penguins colors do not match the cards that well. Orange is a very good match, the purple penguin's card looks blue, the teal penguins card looks green this isn't a big deal but it's lazy production, I wouldn't be petty about it if the penguins didn't hurt everyone to flick. we've tried many times to get this game to be fun but we're going to end up giving it away.

while the game is great on it's own for it to be a true party style game you need both it allows for up to 8 players and if you are feeling really wild you can play with the massive combined boards and just play 4 player. the game is an incredible addition to any collection and is way more fun that you expect.

Great game for 6 year old.

This is a great game for 6 year olds. The games go quickly and it is fairly portable. You can get different skill levels once you figure out how to flick the penguin. The rounds are shorter and overall play time only 15ish minutes which is the perfect amount for a kid. A fun and different game for kids than I’ve gotten in the past. Definitely recommend if your child is around ages 6/7 and likes board games.

Great addition to an already great game. Adds more players.

We have Ice Cool 1 and absolutely love it! Actually I would give this one a 3.5 because they went from wooden fish to plastic and the price point is the same. That to me feels cheap. Doing that just takes away from the quality of the game for no apparent reason. We love this kind of game. This is a stand alone version but can be added to the first game and have huge races and team play. Have a friend buy it then combine them for a great party night.

It’s a great idea/concept. I wish the buildings were a little more stable. Other than that it’s great.

Even A 6 Year Old Can Do It!!

As a hobby board gamer, I have been trying to find games that will connect to my 6 year old grandson. Well folks, look no further! This was a smash hit with him! Not only did it hit with him, my wife and his mother also enjoyed it. Played it with him and my grown nephew and my nephew enjoyed it. So don't worry about it not hitting with children and adults.

ICECOOL 2 is like ICECOOL 1 but better if you have both

ICECOOL 2 has different color penguins than ICECOOL 1, the original colors are better, but adding both together let’s you play up to 8 players, and you can play race mode which is super cool too! Some might say… Ice Cool! Just buy the game if you have ICECOOL 1 and want more ways to play this great penguin flicking dexterity game.
