2026 · This Way!
Ice as far as the eye can see. In this frozen world, swept by blizzards, a lone city clings to life. Every year during the summer season, the City's guilds organize expeditions. Their destination: the Valley of the Nuuka, where vestiges of an antediluvian civilization might be buried. Looking for answers, prestige or riches, every guild has its own motivations.
I·C·E is a game of exploration, 3D tile mining, and collection. Players are archeologists exploring tiles that they can remove. Archeologists dig these tiles in order to collect artifacts which gave them reputation points. There are 3 levels of tiles in the game. The first one corresponds to the ice sheet level. The second and third represent surface and deep artifact levels. The bottom layer level is the City of Azulia.
The ice sheet tiles removed by a player can be played as a helping action for him. The edifice tiles are game changing rules and represent legacy material to discover as we go along.
The game stops when a first edifice tile is fully discovered. Then players count their reputation points, which determine the winner. The goal is to validate Requests and score Decrees from the City to get the highest number of Renown points when the fourth Day is over.
