War in the Ice
War in the Ice is a 1978 board game published by Simulations Publications, Inc.
Gameplay
War in the Ice is a game in which the US and USSR have run out of African and Asian countries in which to conduct their brushfire wars and so begin a war in the Antarctic.[1]
Reception
Eric Goldberg reviewed War in the Ice in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 4 out of 9.[1] Goldberg commented that "there is not enough play value in the game to make this potentially fascinating situation come alive. The various scenarios plod along until the players seek a more amusing diversion (such as throwing snowballs). Even the background is poorly constructed: a lost civilization is found beneath the Antarctic surface, beginning another war for its technology. It's an amusing idea, but doesn't belong in this package."[1]
