I C E: Second Edition
Dig through three physical layers of ice for buried civilizations.
An archaeological dig on a frozen world played on a three-layer 3D board, where the ice tiles you remove become your own bonus actions on the way down.
Who it's for
Players who want a mid-heavy euro with an unusual physical board and a strong sense of uncovering something.
Not for you if…
Fiddly stacked components annoy you, or you want a theme with narrative rather than a scoring frame.
Vibe's take
Tactile and calculating – peeling the board apart is genuinely satisfying, and every tile you lift is a resource twice over.
