14: Snow Forts
Igloos are the traditional shelter made from blocks, while making a hollow in a pile of snow is called a quinzhee.

| Crude, but effective. |
Actually needing shelter is a clear reason why PCs might do this.
And sometimes you have no option because you’re on Hoth.
 |
| A playset where polystyrene packing would really help. |
(I never saw the Micro Collection minis scale sets and remain annoyed about this.)
Some might also do it for a particularly long-lasting snowball fight.
Making castles out of ice and snow is a cold-powered antagonist classic.

| Even Elsa chooses to build with the mountain providing shelter from the sun. |
A lot of Bond villains have lairs in the cold, hence Inception playing with it, though using an ice hotel as a base in a Die Another Day thing.
Assaulting a snow fort or ice castle presents various tactical options and challenges. You can break through ice more easily than stone, but that also means structural hazards...
