About the game
If you love the thrill of climbing K2 but crave an extra challenge, Broad Peak is your next summit! This expansion introduces two new mountains to conquer, each with its own unique rules and challenges inspired by real historical ascents. Get ready to test your skills and luck across two distinct scenarios.

The first, 'Race to the Top,' is pure adrenaline: fewer game days, no tents, and a leaner acclimatization deck. The path is shorter, but don't be fooled; every step counts in this race against time and the elements. It's a quick and intense test of who reaches the summit first.

'Traverse of Broad Peaks,' on the other hand, offers a more strategic and lengthy experience. Here, you're not just climbing one peak, but three! The goal is to traverse all of them, accumulating bonus victory points for this feat and for reaching the summit of each individual peak. The difficulty is high, especially since you only have one tent for shelter. It's a journey that demands careful planning and immense resilience.

To play, you'll need the base game of K2. Broad Peak adds new layers of complexity and variety, maintaining the core essence of the original game while delivering unique and challenging experiences. It's perfect for those who have already mastered K2 and are looking for new mountains to conquer.
