eli5… What is the science behind the kids game “Don’t break the ice”?

571 views

Was playing Don’t Break the Ice today and I was wondering if someone could explain the science concept behind what holds the ice pieces together. Preferably a little deeper than just “pressure of pieces in a small space.” I looked online but it didn’t help me out very much lol.

Eta this is literally to explain it to a 5 year old

>pressure of pieces in a small space

Something called: Friction.

Some stuff has more, some stuff has less, works against any force, so gravity would be one force and movement other force.
