Uonga!
(Loose translation: 'You stand here and draw the mastodon's attention while I circle around and jab him from behind with my pointy stick.')

It's mastodon herding season, and you and the other hunters from your tribe have managed to spook a few of them into a box canyon. Now all you have to do is kill a few for the coming winter. Ice Age is a game between two different forces: five relatively clumsy but powerful pieces versus more numerous and more agile but weaker pieces.

Equipment:

  • A single stash of Icehouse pyramids. Stacking pieces is not an issue in this game, so solid pieces may be used.
  • A 5x5 playing board (such as a Volcano board.

    Object of the Game: Each side is trying to capture at least 9 points of the opponent's pieces1. (Smalls count for 1, mediums 2, and larges 3 points.)
