Editorial Review:

A polar bear is happily skating across the ice. He's gesturing thumbs up. A big smile stretches his face. Uh-oh. What's that tapping sound? A block of ice just disappeared from his pond. And there goes another one. The polar bear is running out of room to skate. In Don't Break the Ice, two to four players take turns wielding plastic mallets and tapping out ice blocks. The goal is to keep the polar bear skating for as long as possible. But as the game progresses, ice blocks start falling faster and faster. And then, there goes the bear! Luckily, these ice blocks don't melt. The game can quickly be reassembled and soon the polar bear is skating again. This bear might lose his footing, but he's always got his smile. --Wendy Slotboom

Simple fun
This toy is great fun to play, though a bit annoying to reset. Smaller children may need help in setting it up. My first grader can do it but it took her a few times to get how to pull the pieces and make them fit. We all enjoy the game.

Hours of entertainment for my grandchildren!
This is a wonderful way to let my grandchildren enjoy the simple pleasures of childhood. We can now enjoy all four games and my grandchildren, ages 4 and 7, can't wait to play them when they stay at Gammie's house.

One of my son's favorites
This is one of my son's favorites - going on a year now. He plays it a few times per week. Not only is it fun, I find it a bit educational. We count the squares as we're setting up the rows, and there is strategy involved. I knocked a star off because of the noise factor - perhaps the hammers could have a little padding to make them less noisy?

Just as fun as the original
I had this game as a kid and it was a blast..and it still is!My daughter and I have been playing this since she was 2(she's 4 now and loves it more than ever).It has tought her how to take turns and the laws of physics,on some level(I can see the wheels turning in her head as she figures out what blocks she can hit without knocking out the whole row).She is even quite patient as we put the ice cubes in the tray.It's kind of annoying that it takes 25 seconds to knock out the cubes and 3 minutes to put them back.The hammers are a little flimsy(one of ours is a little bent).It really is fun though.Who doesn't like beatin' the heck out of something with a hammer?
