zFrostBoats¶
A frozen boat arena minigame for Spigot and Paper. Players slide across the ice, leave a colored trail, and close loops to claim ground. Cross a rival's trail and they shatter. The last player on the ice wins.

What it plays like¶
Everyone rides a boat on a round sheet of ice. Movement is slippery, so you coast when you let go of the controls. The moment you leave your own ground you start drawing a trail in your color. Loop back into your own area and everything you circled becomes yours. Touch someone else's trail and they shatter. Box a player in until they have no ground left and they are out. Many matches can run at the same time in one world.
