I am a teacher and bought this for my kids after seeing it on an internet video. It was cheap and (after showing them how once) my kids can put it together much easier than the real version of Don't Break the Ice that I also have. They also love the spinner that tells them which colors to knock out. I will need to buy more because they fight over getting to play this, but the price makes that not a problem.

I bought this to replace a game that is similar for my play therapy office. Both games get a lot of use but this is a new favorite. One of the ways my clients like to play this game is to hide the penguin underneath and try and guess where the penguin is. It takes about a minute to set up in between games but goes quickly if 2 people are working on it.

I bought this because the original is so boring, all white with an all blue penguin. This may be a knock off but at least it looks more interesting. No, the box does not make sense because it's in broken english, but most reasonable adults can figure out how to play it just fine. It holds together well, comes with two hammers, an actually detailed penguin. It does not have one big piece with a slot for the penguin to slip into, the penguin just sits wherever you put it. In addition, this game comes with a wheel to use on your turn to decide whether you'll hit white, blue, your choice, or lose turn.

This game was a hit! Literally. We decided to order this one instead of don't break the ice, which this is a generic version of, because of the ice-pick on the hammer that this game has, and the other one does not. While this is not the name brand, and the pieces are a little more flimsy, it is a great buy. The pieces fit tight, the added pick on the hammer is a bonus for precision, and the kids had a ton of fun creating different designs in the ice attempting different strategies.

Love this game. Had the square blocks variant as a kid; the hexagon blocks make it even more interesting. My kids love it too.

My daughter and I saw the same video of an old Japanese lady playing this game on youtube that I am pretty sure everyone else who is researching this product saw. Because of that video we bought this game and I must say it's pretty fun.

Got this for my 3yo for christmas. He loves it!! It reminds me of the game from my childhood, but for a much better price than the original �collectible� lol I agree with others that the box is janky with a lot of misspelled words but honestly it made me laugh. Didn�t affect my thoughts of how I valued it. The game itself was very decent quality for the price!!

I've been playing this with my therapy kids between the ages of 6-11 and they all really like it. It's a fun little game with a bit of strategy, but not much thinking. It's really easy to maintain a conversation with your child while playing the game. ;)
ANNIE
we got this for my nephew and he LOVES it so much! he plays with it all the time and brings all the family together
Evgeniya
My kids absolutely adore this game they love this and the spaghetti Yeti and for the price of this it is definitely a must-have if you have kids they will play for at least an hour and get a kick out of it every time
Danny
My children really enjoy playing this game! It is so much fun! They love taking turns breaking the ice and it�s so fun to watch who will mke the penguin fall! My 2 year old also loves playing it as well as the adults in the house. This game is lots of fun!

I really like this, my son was reminding me that when he was a young child he had a game similar to this and always enjoyed playing with it. So it can really show you how games and skills can come back around and teach another generation how its done.. Thank so much..

My family love and enjoy playing this game, even for my 3Yrs son. Very easy to start with even without read the instructions.

Cute little game I gave to my parents as a gift. They play it at night while going to bed. This game will also be amazing for children.
Genty Whittaker
We ordered this because we wanted a different game on each table at our company Christmas party. Everyone at the table had a ball. We needed it in hurry too, and this came fast, intact, and just as promised. Perfect.
Caleb J Dady
I bought this for my cousin and she had a blast with it and could even put it together herself. It�s as pictured, and is just a great game.
Dale Bentley
This game is very engaging. It's like the old don't break the ice but with honeycombed shaped pieces and a spinner for an extra element of random chance.
Monique
This game has been a hit in our house, it's fun for all of us. My 7 year old and even my 13 year old enjoy it, it's super easy to play and set up, the price was great at $8.99 we have played it quite a few times
Di Feng Tan
Super fun to play with my 4 year old! I hope I don�t loose any pieces, at least it came with two extra hexagons in case I do.
Scottsgirl
Shipped fast. Works as expected and simple to play. You don't need the instructions, however, the English translations are super funny and I'll count that as a bonus
Esperanza
Bought it as a gift for my nephew and he loves it!! Hours of fun for him and his sister..
Shanny
I bought this for my nieces who are in elementary school. They really seem to like it. Great price and looks fun to play. I would buy again for my kids too in the future.

Ordered through Amazon prime. Came quick. Very fun game, simple to setup and play. No learning curve. Great for both kids and adults!
Rachel Serrano
Great game for school aged speech therapy group session. The kids love earning the ice cubes, assembling together and playing it!
Rachael
This game is very fun to play! The only downside is that there are so many small pieces that I could easily see them getting lost. My nephew loved this game.
Caitlin Mae Shepherd
Such a fun game. It's a cheap solution to entertaining kids or adults in their 30s. Makes you feel like a kid again
Krista King
Such a better product than "Don't Break the Ice." Much better built, a more aesthetic design, and I think the blocks are easier to put together between games. Generally better quality.
Ni Cole
This game is really good fun, the shape of the board makes the games more entertaining. Quick and easy to setup, overall quality of the materials is a little lacking but for the price its to be expected.
Kalli L
Our 2 year old and 7 year old love this game!! Great way to introduce turn taking and cause cause and reaction.
lauren t
This toy attracted both of my two daughters. Big daughter recalled lots of her memories when she was little! Simple, family bonding time!
Dan
Lots of fun for our family. However, the blocks do take a bit of time to reload.
Merrill
I bought these as Christmas gifts. The kids like games like this. I hope they love it. It looks like a fun game to play with the kids.
Melissa Gulick
Great game to play with friends and family. Even better when played as a drinking game.
Chante Adams
Fun simple game i love playing with friends and family, packed neatly definitely reccomend.
Samantha
great game for me and my kids. it brings me back to when i was a kid. we all enjoy to play it.
Christenatewk
This is a foreign made version of a popular game. It is not the quality of the one of a name brand that I�ve seen and directions are in broken English. However, it�s cute and doesn�t take a genius to figure out how to play. The price is about half of name brand so I�d choose this version. Seems sturdy after hours of play.
Kristin Sanders
my 4.5 year old LOVES it. only slightly annoying to put together, came with an extra block. the hammers arent the strongest but its easy enough to improvise. happy i saved the money and got this one.
Great bye
Fun unwrapped under the christmas tree. Got lots of playtime already. Easy set up for quick games and a little quality time with my kiddo.
Fullenkamp Family
Ok, my friends love this game. One downside is the pieces start to get loose after too many games. So it gets harder to set up. But still holding.
Lindsay Mitchell
My six year old daughter wanted this and we've become addicted to it. Simple, fun and an easy game to play in front of the television or something. Especially for the price, this is a big win. I'd recommend it to anyone with kids.
Analis Thurman
Don't think about it, just buy it. It's legit the most fun my little sister has had in forever. You won't regret it. Hours of fun
Courtney
My husband ordered this game. With a house full of teens, I didn't think this game would be a hit with them, but I was wrong, we all enjoy playing. It's a simple, but fun game.
Martha
My kids love this game; they are 4 and 6 year olds. Kids may need help with assembly, but super easy for Mommy. Came in quickly without damage.
Bridgettevien
Love playing this w my little boy fast fun game for right before bedtime that they will remember playing forever.
googoo
I think I�ve had to play this game at least 200 times in the first few weeks of buying it. My 3 year old loves putting the �ice� cubes in different patterns, spinning the spinner, and knocking out the pieces
Jordan
Ordered this for my Goddaughter, since we were quarantined for her bday. She loved it, great product at a great price.

Assembly is easy: Flip the tray upside down: Install the legs around the edge. Install the blocks in the middle. Put it right-side up, and place the penguin in the center. Unlike the 1980's version, there are no special blocks, nor foot locks, to keep the center creature (ice skating guy, a red bear, or in this case, a peguin), so flip the center block and just set the penguin inside. Snap the hammer head onto the arm.
Lisa Franklin, MSW, LCSW
Gameplay is simple: Take turns tapping out a block with a little hammer. Whomever drops the penguin loses. This comes with a spinner you can use to dictate "blue" "white" or "player choice". Or, you can just always do player's choice. You could do more than 2 people if you want. You can drop as many blocks as you want, but only by tapping one block. Whatever block you tap first is the one you have to tap out.
