Freez! (1993)

Dice Strategy Game for 2 Players! Description and Object of Game: Freez! is a new, original two-player strategy game with similarities to both Chess and Go. It is played on a special 64 square mat, with 20 pieces. Dice are used as the playing pieces, but after the roll to determine who starts, luck is not a feature of the game. In Freez!, pieces are attacked and frozen; the frozen pieces remain on the board for the rest of the game. The object is to freeze your opponent's pieces. Alternatively, you can win by trapping your opponent behind a wall of frozen pieces. The game is won when a player completes a wall separating all of their live pieces from all of the opponent's live pieces, or the opponent cannot make a legal move, or a player freezes the opponent's last live piece. Playing time is 20 minutes to 2 hours.
