❄️ Ice & Idols – The temple that slides, moves and does not forgive

In Ice & Idols, you don't explore a temple: you survive an ice giant moving beneath you. The structure rotates, changes direction, opens or closes passages in a flash. A strategic board game where anticipating the next move is worth more than any treasure.

Dynamic tile placement is at the heart of the adventure: disappearing corridors, sliding rooms, platforms that take you where you never thought possible. Every rotation is an opportunity... or a trap.

The Idols are your goal and your dilemma. Collecting them, carrying them, using them: each one alters your path and changes your strategy on the fly. Pickup and delivery here is pure tension, because the temple never stays still for long enough.

Ice & Idols is perfect for those who love to plan, read the map like a living being, and adapt to a rhythm of constant transformation. In the cold, the most lucid win.

If you love games where the map breathes, slides and rebels, Ice & Idols becomes an expedition to remember: observe, anticipate, move… before the temple decides for you.

On ice, everything is slow. Except what wants to make you fall.

🎯 COME SI GIOCA

HOW TO PLAY ICE & IDOLS ❄️🏛️

Exploration, moving paths and idols to recover in an ever-changing glacial labyrinth.

1) Enter the frozen temple and prepare the rotating maze

The board represents an ancient frozen temple, composed ofpath tileswhich form an unstable maze.

The Idols to be studied are placed in the indicated spaces: they are the heart of the exploration.

2) Move your explorer through corridors and rooms

On your turn you can move along the paths, trying to reach the Idols to study them.

Each tile can open, close, or divert the path: the map seems fixed, but it never really is.

3) Rotate the ruins to completely change the structure of the temple

The key mechanic is therotation of the temple: you can rotate entire sections, changing connections and creating new paths… or obstacles.

Every rotation is an advantage for you and a potential hindrance for others.

4) Collect Idols and use their special powers

When you reach an Idol, ityou study and claim it, gaining a unique power:

movement bonuses, extra map manipulation, quick access to certain areas, or protection against opponents.

Each Idol can drastically change your strategy.

5) Whoever completes their research objective first wins

Ice & Idols is a strategic pick-up & deliver: you have to reach the Idols, study them andreport the knowledge gainedin the requested places.

Whoever completes the expedition objectives first becomes the ultimate researcher of the glacial temple.

📜 REGOLAMENTO

Ice And Idols Rules in English

❄️ Ice & Idols – Where knowledge freezes… and you must melt it with ingenuity

A rotating temple, shifting paths, and ancient secrets to be wrested from the ice.

It's not an exploration.
It's a race against a maze that decides where you can pass.

Frost is not an obstacle: it is a warning. Every step you take in the thawed temple reveals passages that a moment later no longer exist, sudden rotations, streets that close behind you as if the ancient structure was deciding what to grant you.

In Ice & Idols you don't just have to reach the Idols: you have to anticipate the movement of the temple itself, Manipulate ruins, bend corridors to your advantage, and steal secrets before other explorers. Every tile you turn is a risk. Every discovery, a temptation.

You don't seek treasures: you seek the only path that will not betray you.

⚙️ Mechanics with Sense – “The temple is alive… and it's not on your side”

The heart of the game is map manipulation : you rotate, open and close paths to create the unique usable path at that moment, while others try to do the same against you.

Moving well is important, but moving the temple better is what leads to victory.
