About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Ready to add an extra layer of chaos and fun to your ICECOOL experience? Introducing the Blocked Door promo card, which originally appeared in late 2018 as a special reward for some backers of the Dized Kickstarter campaign. This little gem adds a new strategic element and that 'Take That' vibe we all love! Essentially, at the start of each round, the catcher (the player chasing the others) can grab this card and use it to block any door by sliding it between two boxes. Imagine the frustration of other players having to find an alternative route! But don't worry, the door isn't blocked forever. As soon as a penguin – any penguin, even the catcher themselves – bumps into the blocked door, it's freed up. And the coolest part is that the penguin who bumped into it can then take the card and move the blockade to another door. This adds a dynamic element where the blockade can shift from round to round, forcing players to constantly adapt. It's a small expansion, but it significantly shakes up the game's flow, making matches even more unpredictable and hilarious. Perfect for those who already enjoy ICECOOL's dexterity and movement mechanics and want another way to mess with their friends (or get messed with!).
