We like playing board games and with the weather we’ve been having, it’s a good thing that we have a collection at home. We were also sent Igloo Mania recently to add to it and we enjoyed playing it.
Igloo Mania is a cool game. (see what I did there?)
It is a game of dexterity where you have to remove blocks without getting the others tumbling down. Sounds familiar?
Maybe – but these are ice blocks and half the fun is setting up the game. You’ll find out why soon.
To set up the game you have to build an igloo. And then remove the below plastic bit to have a full fledged igloo.
To play the game, you need to remove a block in turn and make sure that the igloo doesn’t tumble. You remove the block with an ice pick of course. It is the polar region after all.
What we thought –
The game was great fun especially to set up. We did however feel that each game lasted a very short time. Since the blocks are on a curve, they tend to fall apart more easily.
It still is a great game and I suppose you can play the game without removing the inside plastic and playing for points. (There are points on each block).
Igloo Mania is targeted to children aged 5+ and you require 2 – 4 players.
It is priced at £19.99 and is available at all major retailers.
Oooh I remember playing a similar game like this when I was young, it was always fun playing with the family especially when the weather wasn’t so good outside.
Yes – board games are great when the weather is bad like this past week.
This looks like so much fun for the kids! Nice price too so will make a great gift for my little cousins perhaps.
Ooh this looks like such a fun game! I bet my son would love it
My kids love it and have been playing it throughout the summer.
This looks like a super fun game – shame that the games can be quite short though
It’s lots of fun. I guess being short means that they just have to build it up more frequently.
Ive never heard of this but it does sound like a lot of fun x
It is loads of fun – the kids love it.
I absolutely love the look of this and I’m sure my guys would love it. Hours of fun building things is definitely a winner in our house x
Building and then destroying it – my kids love it!
Ah, this game looks good! Especially for children with shorter attention spans. Tx
It’s a great game. Loads of fun.
Oh this looks like a really fun game. I wouldn’t mind getting this for my daughter.
It is quite a fun game. I’m sure your daughter would love it.
This game looks fantastic! I’d have loved something like this when I was little 🙂 x
It is a lot of fun and great for rainy days indoors.
I just had to quickly hide this post from B as he’d want it straight away.
I tend to have a love hate relationship with these types of games. It’s all fun till you have to rebuild it!
Sucks a bit that it doesn’t last long, may be theres a knack to getting further with it.
I think if you keep the base in place and then add the score up on each block then it helps?
