Description Edit | History

This is the game that introduced Icehouse Pieces.

This game doesn't use turns, or rounds, or anything else to break up the action. Players place their pieces as quickly or slowly as they like, in attacking or defending positions. Only when everyone's used up all their pieces is the game scored, with people getting points for their safe defenders and successful attackers.

2 Rhombus Board with tab holders
I made this modified rhombus board so I could print it out on card stock and hold them together with tabs. Just cut out the board and trim the grey side of each tab. You may want to trim a little bit more between the board and tab so they fit together more easily.
