	Description Edit \| History

Ice Flow is a strategic family game, interesting enough for gamers, as there are many tactical decisions to make.

Players race their explorers across the Bering Strait from Alaska to Siberia - riding ice floes, dodging polar bears, and collecting useful items on the way. The winner is the first player to arrive in Siberia with his three explorers intact.

AWARD: ICE FLOW won Best New Board Game at the UK Games Expo 2008 - the 2nd year running for Ludorum Games.
