played for you

Ice Cult

MOve along with arrow and circle

Your markers need to be taken out of the cold and off the path quickly. Movement of all pieces is governed by symbols on transparent dice/cubes, which are not rolled, but tilted. The playing pieces start between the paths, you always use all of them, and four cubes are placed in a way into the basis so that the four arcs form a visible circle on top.

In you turn you take two cubes and tilt them together by 90 degrees and repeat this with the same two cubes or with two other ones of your choice. Then you move pieces according to the symbols and colors visible on top of the cubes: For each arrow in a color you move one piece of that color either from the starting position on the first case of the path at which the arrow points, or one step along this path. Pieces can be stacked on top of other pieces and a piece that has to be moved carries pieces on top of it along. Pieces under pieces being moved stay behind. You must resolve each arrow if possible. Purple circles are jokers, for each circle you can choose one of the visible arrows and use it again. For each arc you can rotate a cube by 90 degrees, so that an arrow points at another path. If you are first to move all of your own pieces of the paths and thus into the finish, you win.

Abstract and attractive, absolutely free of chance and full of interaction! The cubes are clear, so you can see what the result of a tilt will be, but you cannot predict what the other players will do! So use your own moves as clever as possible!
