    I wasn’t sure what to do with 6. Are the two dots in the middle ice holes or polar bears?

      Phil, a 6 on the die means just 6 x polar bears (no ice holes.) As described in the instructions, only odd numbers (1, 3 & 5) feature a polar bear because there is a dot smack in the middle of the die’s top face. Make sense?
