About this game

Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first climbed Mount Everest in 1953, many mountaineers have attempted to repeat their exploit, but with great difficulty. In this game, YOU are responsible for a team of mountaineers whose objective is to reach the summit of Everest. You will establish one of the supply camps essential to your climbs. You will manage and move human and material resources while facing many dangers in the mountain. Beware, a strange creature wanders in these sacred regions. The yeti is no longer a legend... Embark on this great adventure where the courage of your team-mates will make all the difference. On your mark, get set, ...go!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 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.
