About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, penguin pals! If you thought the original Ice Cool was already a blast with its crazy penguins and dexterity challenges, get ready to amp up the fun with the 0.5 Point Cards expansion. This little gem introduces four scoring cards, each worth a mere half-point on their own – a small fry, right? But here's the kicker: you can reveal one of these cards whenever you choose and, BAM!, you get an immediate extra turn for free! It's like finding a secret shortcut in the game. The concept is simple: just shuffle these new cards into the point pile of the base game, and voilà, the chaos is served. This expansion is perfect for those who want to spice up their games, adding a surprise element and more opportunities to turn the tables. It doesn't change the core dexterity and fish-collecting race, but it adds a layer of strategy and timing that can make all the difference. Ideal for those who already enjoy the game and want more variety without complicating the rules. Get your fingers ready and may luck be on your side, because these penguins are non-stop!
