About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, flicking enthusiasts! If you love the thrill of launching penguins (or, in this case, walruses!) across the board, the ICECOOL: Walrus Expansion brings a new twist to spice up your games. This little gem, originally a treat in the German Game Award Goodie Box, adds three charming walruses to the base game. Setup is a breeze: just place one walrus in the center of rooms 3, 4, and 5. The magic happens during gameplay: if you manage to knock down at least one of these blubbery creatures on your turn, get ready to earn an extra turn! And the best part? If you're a master at hitting walruses, you can string together multiple turns in a row, racking up plays and leaving your opponents in awe. Of course, don't forget that fish cards with a value of 1 still grant your extra turn, as usual. At the start of each new round, the walruses return to their initial positions. It's a small expansion, but it has a direct impact on the game's dynamics, encouraging bolder plays and increasing the action on the table. Perfect for anyone looking to boost their ICECOOL or ICECOOL 2 matches, adding a 'take that' element with a gameplay bonus that can turn the tables! Fun and dexterity remain the main ingredients, now with an extra touch of controlled chaos brought to you by the friendly walruses.

Does this expansion work with ICECOOL 1 and ICECOOL 2?
Yes! The rules and components of this expansion are compatible with both the original ICECOOL and ICECOOL 2.
Do I need the base game to play with this expansion?
Absolutely! This expansion adds components and rules to the base game, so you need to own ICECOOL or ICECOOL 2 to use it.
How do the walruses change the game?
The main change is that knocking down a walrus grants you an extra turn! This can create some really cool combos and increase the intensity of your plays.
Are the new rules difficult to learn?
Not at all! The rule is very simple: knock down a walrus, get an extra turn. It's super easy to incorporate into the games you already play.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion itself doesn't change the player count. It works perfectly with the base game's player count, which is 2 to 4 people.
Where can I find this expansion?
This was a promotional expansion released with a 'Goodie Box'. Because of this, it might be a bit harder to find in regular stores. It's worth checking second-hand marketplaces or specialty stores that deal with promotional items.
