    Board Game Grail acquired!!!

    The ICE CUBE game

    Been looking for this for a very long time . . . . they go pretty high and when I saw this one on Ebay last week for $99 shipped I jumped all over it! Came well packed and better than described. Can't wait to play it!!

          Not many people know this, but they actually test marketed an updated version of this game in the early '90s. Unfortunately, it didn't go over too well with the suburban housewives. Luckily, I regularly dumpster dive behind MB's top secret headquarters, so i was able to salvage one of the prototype boxes:

                  I have never seen that before. Must be crazy hard to track down a nice one. Melting ice on decals and storing it in a cardboard box can't be a good mix.
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      the biggest problem is the ice tray is usually missing or damaged . . . . very surprised to see the orginal washer but that is obviously the easiest thing to replace.

                          Congrats on your find!!

                          A rather neat (but messy) concept. More info about this game can be found below

                          Pop your men out of the supplied ice tray and move around the waterproof board. You encounter hazards such as the warm bath, Hot Head (a hot metal washer placed on your ice-head", and a shower of salt. Last player to melt wins. Messy game (the salt residue is particularly messy when it dries). The high mess factor ensured that many Moms threw this one out, thereby allowing the rare remaining copies to command high prices on ebay.
