Set out on the expedition of a lifetime in the tense tactical board game Mountains, built on the popular principle of engine building. You can look forward to careful resource planning, gradual improvements to stamina and equipment, and also clever interaction between players, where opponents can join your ascent.
Step into the roles of brave mountaineers and conquer iconic mountain giants around the world. With each new ascent you gain experience, better equipment, and you can hire reliable mountain guides to help you handle even the toughest challenges.
The game combines strategy with tension during the climb itself: you compete to see who places their flags on the game board first, but during an ascent other players can also join you – whether you want them to or not. Climbing together saves energy, but it also brings experience and rewards to your opponents.
Why you’ll love Mountains:
- Tactical decision-making and efficient management of energy and resources.
- Engine building – gradual improvement of abilities, stamina, and equipment.
- Player interaction thanks to the option of shared ascents.
- A choice between a safer route and risk in the form of a danger die roll.
- Great for solo play and small groups too.
