Breaking the Ice

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Breaking the Ice is a Romantic Comedy role playing game for two players. Players help one another tell the tale of romance arising between two characters, and the set-backs and wacky twists the lovers' tale may take. Quick and easy, the game can be played in one sitting with no prior preparation required.


Play out the ups and downs of a couple's first three dates. From first bumbling attempts to get to know one another, to the stirrings of trust and desire. Watch the attraction flare, and see if the flame will light a fire that will last for a lifetime-or just burn brightly for a moment, and then flicker out.

 

  • Unique word-web character generation.
  • Simple and intuitive mechanics.
  • Collaborative, synergistic play.
  • Great introductory game for non-gamers.
  • Rules for more than two players.

 

"Breaking the Ice is a rare thing: a delight as a story, and a truly interesting game. It blows away any traditional RPG I've ever seen."- Clinton R. Nixon , creator of The Shadow of Yesterday

"The great beauty of the game is, if I can say it poetically, that it is an ode to our vulnerability." - Victor Gijsbers

Anyone who’s played this—can you tell me what the differences (if any) are between it and Star Crossed? My girlfriend and I have played that one, and we love that one.

This one says that it has rules for more than two players—does that mean teams, or does it break the monogamist mold and structure play for polyamorous relationships?

Hi Howard - Breaking the Ice has many different types of endings for the characters, and tones for the story arcs.

The rules for more than two players in this game are for team play (with more than one person playing a single character) or double or triple dating. Under my Skin - which you can download for free is a game that supports play for polayamorous relationships.

That's a great idea for a hack. Will have to work on it! Thanks so much for your interest.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
