About the game
Pack your bags and sharpen your memory, because climbing season has arrived in "Mountains"! In this quick and fun game, you and your friends will venture onto challenging trails, each requiring a specific set of equipment. The clever twist is that you don't need to have everything on hand; who knows, maybe you can get a "loan" from a fellow climber by offering a favor in return?

The game works like this: first, choose your adventure by flipping a trail card. The tougher the mountain, the more items you'll need to carry. Then, it's time to gather your gear. You can use what you have in hand or borrow from other players, paying them with favor stones. If you successfully complete the trail, the reward might come in the form of favor stones, summit stamps, or both, depending on the card. The ultimate goal is simple: collect the most stamps in your achievement book.

"Mountains" is a game that blends luck, memory, and a dash of negotiation, perfect for those who enjoy a light and interactive experience. With short game times, it's ideal for kicking off a game night or playing with the family. Do you have what it takes to be the most decorated mountaineer? The mountain awaits you!
