Pressman Thin Ice Game - Avoid Marble Breaking the Ice

This breakthrough game, Thin Ice, is a real icebreaker for kids! The game comes with an igloo-shaped base, tissues, three legs, two hoops, marbles, and oversized tweezers. It's easy to learn, and kids can start playing in seconds.

The objective is simple: take a marble from the water channel and place it on the tissue. However, the challenge lies in not being caught holding the tweezers when the marbles break through the "ice" (the tissue paper). This time-tested classic is a perfect addition to any STEM assortment, providing silly, soppy, and super-absorbing fun for 2-4 players, ages 5 and up.

Upon opening the frosty blue box, with its pictures of top-hatted penguins, one of the first things you'll see is a pocket pack of facial tissues. This may seem like a joke, but the folks at Pressman don't guarantee you'll come down with the sniffles when you play Thin Ice; instead, a case of the giggles is assured.

The tissues, or more precisely, one ply of them, form the drum-like surface on which the damp marbles are placed, one by one. Players use the tongs to fish a marble out of the water trough and place it on the thin paper before passing the tongs to the next player as quickly as possible. But possession is nine-tenths of the thaw; if you're holding the tongs when the weakened paper rips, you're assigned the letter "I." Spell "ice" and you're out.

One package of Marcal tissues is included, though any facial tissue will work. (Don't play with any cheater who insists on using Bounty paper towels!) For silly, soppy, super-absorbing fun, the Thin Ice game raises play to new Gesund-heights.
