About this board game

Ice & Idols is a pick-up-and-deliver board game for 2–4 adventurers, with plays lasting approximately 60 minutes. In this thrilling expedition for knowledge, players enter an ancient temple cloaked in ice and dust, where a labyrinth of ever-shifting pathways stands between them and powerful discoveries.

Time is of the essence as you explore the frozen maze and uncover Idols containing hidden secrets. The temple is not a static place: rotate the temple ruins and manipulate pathway tiles to change the routes available to you.

Every move offers a tactical decision. Position yourself carefully to research the Idols, then harness their hidden powers while adapting to a landscape that can shift beneath your plans. A well-timed change to the temple may open a promising path, while another move could create an unforeseen obstacle.

  • Pick-up-and-deliver gameplay: Navigate the temple while pursuing the knowledge held by its Idols.
  • Rotating temple ruins: Manipulate the structure of the frozen temple to influence movement and positioning.
  • Shifting pathway tiles: Adapt your route as the labyrinth changes around you.
  • Idols with powerful secrets: Research these ancient discoveries and harness their hidden powers.

Ice & Idols combines exploration, route manipulation, and discovery in a setting shaped by ice, dust, and ancient mysteries. Whether a path leads to a groundbreaking discovery or an unexpected obstruction, each decision contributes to the unfolding expedition.

Released in 2025, Ice & Idols offers a focused temple exploration experience for groups of 2–4 players.
