The Corporation installs ice in front of his/her servers to protect them from the Runner. In order to access a server, the Runner must first deal with that ice during a run on that server.

Ice is always installed in the outermost position in front of a server. Installing a piece of ice costs 1Credit for each other piece of ice already protecting that server.

Ice has special required conditional abilities called subroutines. If the Runner does not break the subroutine(s) on a piece of ice that s/he encounters, then the effects of those subroutines resolve.

There are four main subtypes of ice: Barrier, Code Gate, Sentry, and Trap.
