PLAYED FOR YOU

Blocky Mountains

Climbing, sliding, jumping

Up to the summit - climb, slide, balance, rope down, swing and jump over rock, and all that at the gaming table.

You build routes using blocks and move pawns with climbing hooks on rods and a mountain rope. The double-sided board, the route map, is laid out and route cards and other components are prepared according to given parameters. Then you take your route marker and three squirrel chips, the turn order is determined by the color of your route marker.

The active player turns up a route card and builds the route, taking note of the additional task. Then you move the pawns according to the task card, trapper and/or bear, with hooks and rope, from starting block to finish block, food markers are pushed. If you succeed you move your marker forward as indicated on an owl tile that you draw; if you fail you move back. If you fail, you can try again if you discard a squirrel. With additional tasks you earn squirrels. The next player can use the same route or change the route at the cost of squirrels. Whoever reaches the peak on the board first with his marker, wins the game. Includes team and advanced versions. A team variant is included, as are advanced versions, and there is also - separately - an Adventure book including two scenarios, components, templates for your own routes and a time variant with sand-timer and dice.

Not new, but in Blocky Mountains the topic has been implemented in a simple sensational manner; this begins with fantastic components and provides fun in all versions in concertedly pushing a food chip or to get your pawns to the finish with rope and piton, and this fun is shared by children and adults!
