About the game
In Ice Floes & Foes, 2-6 players will try to save the seals and whales from the fishing boats and hunters. Shove ice floes onto the board and aim to get the fishing boats and hunters to fall off the board on the other side! Be careful not to shove the seals and whales off the board though! Ice Floes & Foes is a fun family game for 2-6 players, age 6+, and plays in about 15-30 minutes. The goal of the game is to collect 5 points. Each fishing boat and hunter you shove off the board gets you one point. On your turn, you may shove three ice floes onto the board. But be careful, because if you shove an animal off the board, your turn ends immediately! The first player to collect a combination of 5 fishing boats and hunters ends and wins the game! —description from the publisher
