About the game

User summary バランスアイスキューブ (Balance Ice Cubes) is a simple dexterity game for children (or imbibing adults). The hexagonal blocks of ice are mixed up and put in the frame. A penguin is placed in the centre of the ice. The active player spins the spinner and follows the action. You might knock out a block of either colour, or pass your turn as the penguin is sleeping. If you're unlucky, you have to knock out two blocks each in both colours! The player who makes the penguin fall is the loser. This game is made by ダイソー (Daiso) for sale in their chain of 100-yen shops across Japan. However, this game appears to cost 500 yen. 六角形の氷ブロックをボードに敷き詰める。 中心にペンギンの人形を置く。 手番プレイヤーがルーレットを回して、出た目の指示に従ってハンマーで氷ブロックを下に落とす。 ペンギンの人形を落としてしまったプレイヤーの負け。
