The Kinderspiel des Jahres is awarded every year to the best children's game by a jury of German game critics. The Kinnerspiel des Jahres and Spiel de Jahres have yet to be picked, but they have chosen the Kinderspiel des Jahres winner... And the winner is Ice Cool.
Ice Cool comes from designer Brian Gomez and in the game you have one player being the hall monitor who is trying to keep everyone in class; while other players are students trying to sneak away for a snack.
Players will be flicking your weeble-wooble like penguin around the board trying to go through the doors with your colour fish on them.
The more fish you collect the more points you get, and for the hall monitor, the more students you catch and take their ID from, the more points you get. After everyone either gets their fish or the hall monitor catches everyone, the player being the hall monitor switches and you play another round. Once players have been the hall monitor once you count up points, and the player with the most points is the winner.
Well done ICE COOL!
