== History ==
'''IceDice''' (''formerly known as IceGlotz-17'') is a Looney pyramid game designed by [[Andrew Looney]]. It was slated as the new pyramid sales vehicle, scheduled to be published in Autumn 2011. Shipment was delayed by a couple months, due to packaging issues, and a dispute with European safety inspectors.
 
It was the first Looney game to be packaged in the new cloth, pyramidal bags. It was also the first Looney game to use parts manufactured in China.
 
IceDiceThw includesblue bag edition included the rules for [[Launchpad 23]].
