Product Description

Based on the popular mobile app, this exciting game lets you build, launch, and destroy with fun new features, including pigs with helmets, breakable ice blocks, an exploding TNT box, and a large red bird character! The second installment of the exciting skill and action game based on the best-selling phone app, Angry Birds On Thin Ice is perfect for two to four players.

Players draw a card and build the structure shown before their opponents launch their Angry Birds.

Launch the Angry Birds to knock down the structure-and the pigs-to win points.

Build, Launch, and Destroy…for Real!
The evil green pigs have stolen the Angry Birds’ eggs, so now the vengeance-seeking birds are poised to attack with everything they’ve got! This thrilling skill-and-action game is based on the bestselling mobile app Angry Birds on Thin Ice, the second installment of the wildly popular game series. Fans will love all the building and smashing action with fun structural pieces and snappable ice girders. Players draw mission cards and build the indicated structures before their opponents knock them — and the pigs — down to score points. The first player to earn 1,000 points wins the game!

Tailor the Game to Players’ Skills
The mission cards feature four levels of difficulty (and corresponding levels of points), so you can decide how you want to play. Select a mission card from any of the four levels and give the card to the next player — they have to build the indicated castle that you’re going to shoot down. For the first three levels, the castle should be built exactly as indicated on the card. The fourth and most difficult level is freestyle, which lets you create your own structures within a specific set of guidelines. Once the castle is built, it’s time for you to shoot it down!

Comes With Exciting Game Pieces
The game's structural pieces include “wood” beams and snappable “ice” girders, along with three green pigs and two construction hats. A TNT box adds an extra explosive element of fun — when it falls, it pops open to create more chaos and then can be easily refolded for the next round. The slingshot-style catapult launcher fits either of the two Angry Birds (one Big Red and one Yellow). To operate, simply insert the Angry Bird, pull back, and let go to launch and destroy!

What's In The Box?
40 mission cards, 16 points cards, one Angry Birds launcher, two Angry Birds, three pigs, two pig helmets, one TNT box, five girders, three breakable ice girders, two ice blocks, and two ice cubes

Angry Birds On Thin Ice, lets players build, launch and destroy with fun new features.

This toy is a lot of fun. Children young and old are quite familiar with Angry Birds on their smartphone, tablet, or whatever else. This is a great way to have your kids take a break from the technology and actually interact and play with their hands, instead of just their fingertips on a screen.

The concept is relatively simple of pulling cards of different set-ups to build and then launching the Angry Birds at the structure.

Parents might need to step-in to help little kiddos assemble the structures or provide some guidance on how to work the catapult. Assembling the structure exactly to the picture on the cards takes some doing, but it's not impossible. It's pretty difficult to hit anything with the catapult, but it's fun to try and try again. If you're actually trying to win, it might be good to bend the rules to allow enough tries to hit something, particularly if you have young children. For us, we take turns building it, while the other keeps trying until it gets knocked down. Simple.

I am going to take a different stance on this review. My son loves this set. The thing is, he doesn't play it by the rules so I can't describe how it is. Under normal circumstances, this game is not easy as aiming the birds in a 3-D world is a lot different than on a 2-D phone screen. My boy doesn't use it as a game though. He uses it as a toy. He does make-believe like you would any other toy set. In that regard, he has a lot of fun with it. He creates his own set-ups and takes his other toys to add some flare to his "levels" and proceeds to do his own thing. He also combines this with the other boxed game to create bigger levels with more pigs and birds. So basically, used as a toy, it's really cool. Used as a game, I don't know, I haven't really tried it other than to try to aim with the catapult (and I did it poorly).

Fairly entertaining, but can be a little frustrating too. We added Mulligans to our game play... you get three re-shoots per game. Might have to be higher though - it's hard to be consistent with that little slingshot!! Setting them up is fun though, and it's VERY satisfying once you're finally able to get the knack for knocking those suckers off their little perches ;)
