Trailhead (2017)

About this game

Trailhead is a board game about surviving the extremes of the great outdoors. A dice game with a strategic twist, Trailhead is easy to learn and perfect for both the kitchen table or the campsite. Lost in the wilderness and running low on water, your goal is to be the first player to reach the trailhead. Collect Trail Markers to move forward, but watch out—you lose water at the end of every turn! As you venture through the wilderness, you can collect Survival Cards that give you a boost, hinder other players, or alter the trail itself.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
