Alaska*
Players compete to collect their container blocks from a central island and return them to their respective depots before the spring melt. The game unfolds in two parts: winter, where players place ice blocks on a hex grid, and spring, where melting allows them to remove ice blocks. Players draw from decks to determine their actions, with various strategic options influencing the flow of the game as conditions change.
