Igloo Pop*
Players shake plastic igloos to discover how many beads they hold, ranging from 2 to 13. Cards depicting different numbers are laid out in a circle around the igloos. Players try to match an igloo's contents to the numbers on the cards, earning points for correct guesses and losing chips for incorrect ones.
While it seems silly, the game requires a steady hand and a trained ear to determine the bead count accurately. Experienced players can quickly assess the contents based on the unique sounds and vibrations. There's also a risk-reward system where cards with multiple numbers are easier but worth fewer points, while cards with a single number offer higher rewards but are harder to guess.
