4.0 out of 5 stars
An inexpensive classic,

Games for small children are notoriously hard to come by. "Don't Break the Ice" is one of the few available and a classic in its own right.My young son loves this game and we play all sorts of variations including moving the main ice piece that holds the bear to different places so we can experiment with the "physics" of the game. (So there is a true educational element.) We also try to put the ice pieces back in the frame using different patterns of insertion. This helps kill the time factor in getting the game pieces ready to play. With its minimum of rules anyone can pick this game up in a minute. It's fun and can be played by "kids" of all ages. Given its low price, it's a no miss. Even if little children get more fun out of making the bear fall than not, so what? Think of it as a more versatile "hammer & peg bench" toy. There are some durability issues. If one of the tabs that hold the ice breaks, you are out of luck. The frame consists of two pieces that slide together and the connection is prone to breakage. Still, at this price point it's a lot easier to replace than many of the fragile toys that cost far more. In fact you could buy every toy in the Milton Bradley "Cootie" line and still be under the cost of just one other plastic toy. A good bet for a good price.

This review is from: Don't Break the Ice (Toy)
I loved this game as a child. We still have the one I played with 16 years ago.Break the Ice is a simple game anybody can play. There is a man sitting on a big piece of ice. You want to knock out the pieces around him, but not knock out piece that will send him falling. It's simple enough but it does take some stratedgy. We have a lot of kids that come through my house for different reasons, and I've never met one that didn't get a kick out of this game. It's a fun family game and a must for a small child.

This review is from: Don't Break the Ice (Toy)
I'll never forget playing Don't Break The Ice when I was a kid, because it's always been one of my favorites. I don't have any kids of my own yet, but I have a niece and she and I played this game for a few hours straight one day last week. She probably has even more fun playing it than I used to. It's a simplistic game that any adult can play with their kid, niece, etc., and find themselves having fun doing it and feeling like a kid again themselves! My niece especially gets a kick out of it when I break the wrong piece of ice I lose.
A game of Don't Break The Ice doesn't usually last long. You basically place all of about 20 plastic ice cubes into the holder, with the red man standing in the center. Both you and your opponent have a plastic hammer and you take turns knocking out one block of ice. But soon you won't be able to help breaking into 2 or 3 blocks of ice in one turn and the poor guy in the middle will be tilted downward staring into a chilling abyss. Whoever hits the piece of ice that results in the guy falling through, loses. This can inspire some competitive spirit, laughs, and trash talking. If you have any kids around, I recommend getting Don't Break The Ice for sure; it's a great way to spend time together.
