From BoardGameGeek

A 30 minute tile based game of artic survival for 2-6 players where it's every meeple for itself and even friendships have limits. You move on an ever-diminishing ice sheet represented by the tiles whilst trying not to get stranded on a separated ice floe and drifting away. Make pacts, break pacts, laugh, despair and come face-to-face with the polar bear - survival has never been so much fun! ...and if that's not challenging enough, a deck of event cards brings an added level of dirty tricks, audacious actions and stress-relieving laughter. The winner in Thin Ice termed the “survivor” is the last player to be able to keep moving on the ever shrinking ice. If you can't keep moving then a dip into the sea becomes your last action and becoming separated on a single ice floe will be your final farewell to the group.
