Don’t Break the Ice (1987) is a classic family game of skill and suspense where players take turns tapping out ice blocks, trying not to let the iceman fall. With simple rules and fast-paced play, it’s perfect for young children, families, and anyone who enjoys light-hearted fun with a bit of tension. The excitement builds as the ice thins, until one unlucky tap brings the iceman tumbling down.
How to Play To set up, fill the frame with the ice blocks and place the iceman on top. On your turn, use a mallet to carefully knock out one ice block. The challenge is to remove blocks without making the iceman fall through. Play continues clockwise, with each player tapping out blocks one by one. If the iceman falls on your turn, you’re out of the game. The last player remaining wins. For solo play, keep count of how many blocks you can remove before the iceman falls and try to beat your score in the next round.
