Shove your wooden seal with a fork and knock everyone else into the ice hole.

A wooden dexterity game set on an ice floe with a hole in the middle. Each player pushes their own seal across the surface using a wooden fork, trying to knock the other seals into the hole. Pure aim, angle and the right amount of force, with no reading or counting involved.

Who it's for

Households with young kids who like games they can play with their hands rather than their heads. Good for mixed ages, since a four-year-old can genuinely beat an adult.

Not for you if…

You want strategy or decisions beyond aiming. It is also long out of print and hard to find outside second-hand listings, and with just 15 BGG ratings it has almost no track record to lean on.

Vibe's take

Loud, physical and immediate, with a lot of leaning over the table and groaning at near misses. Every shove changes the layout, so tension builds turn by turn.
