Ice Cube Chess

Looking for a way to cool down during the summer months? Why not try a game of Ice Chess?

The pieces are made of ice, all you need to do is order a set of ice cube trays from Think Geek, add a little food coloring and you’re ready to go. If you want to make a tasty treat, you could also substitute fruit juice  to add color to the pieces (but the board may become sticky when the ice starts to melt!)

Needless to say, speed chess is a must for this type of match.
