## Description
Get ready to face Kangchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world, in a game that plunges you into an epic 1930s expedition! Inspired by true accounts and featuring art that captures the era's essence, this game is perfect for those who enjoy a quick, tension-filled adventure. Divided into two parts, you begin by assembling your team: recruit climbers and Sherpas, gather essential resources, and form the strongest possible expedition. Here, hand management and push-your-luck go hand-in-hand – each card played can bring you closer to success or leave you in a tough spot. What's cool is that, despite being competitive, the game allows for some mutual assistance between players, fostering a sense of camaraderie (or not!).

The second phase focuses on final preparations for the summit assault. Some cards might become unusable if the set isn't correct, demanding strategic planning. Then, the climb begins! In turns, you advance up the mountain, aiming to reach the 28,156 feet altitude. The final outcome, whatever it may be, can be immortalized in the 'Hall of Fame' within the rulebook. 'Kangchenjunga' is that ideal icebreaker game for all ages, easy to learn but with surprising depth and high replayability. A true gem for those seeking an immersive and thematic experience in a short amount of time.
