Snapping pictures in the Himalayas

The legendary Yetis are supposed to roam on the snow-covered mountain; players are famous photographers and set out to track the Yetis. The vertical mountain, 50 cm high, is set up and avalanche tracks are inserted. You guide a team of two A team comprises two mountaineers, connected by a string, and climbing the mountain by putting their icepicks into the climbing spots.

Photo cards are on display, players try to reach the depicted scenes on the mountain. As the active player, you plan your moves based on the photo cards on display; which of the images can you reach most easily and how do you need to climb? You roll the die – for the climber symbol you can move both climbers; their connecting cord can never cross the cord of another team! If you roll the Yeti, you may move him to hinder other players, because he blocks a climber if he looks directly at him. When the snowball symbol is rolled, it triggers an avalanche. You move the avalanche slide, it opens and closes climbing spots, climbers and Yeti can fall off closed ones. When one climber of a team falls, you must spend the next turn to put him back onto the mountain. When both fall, they must begin anew at the foot of the mountain in their tent. If you reach a spot over an image that corresponds to the image on a photo card, you take the card and score the points stated on it. If you collect five points with pictures taken and then reach the summit, you win.

This is a very cute and nice game! The vertical mountain provides climbing atmosphere, the planning of the routes some tactic and the die the necessary chance. Good, simple fun with easy rules!
