About the game
What you do in a play session
Seven Summits is an educational card game that puts you in charge of high‑altitude expeditions. Each player assembles a team of climbers, selects gear, and plans ascents of the seven highest peaks on each continent. Cards represent climbers, supplies, and weather conditions, and each round the climate shifts, bringing storms or snowfall that can derail even the best‑crafted plan. To progress, you manage your hand, trying to build card combos that meet each mountain’s requirements – a classic set‑collection core flavored with memory, as you must recall which resources have already been spent or discarded. When you feel ready, you can push your luck by committing the needed climbers and gear; a successful climb nets a mountain token and brings you closer to victory. If the weather turns, you lose some resources and must rethink your approach. The game runs 20–40 minutes, supports 2–5 players, and blends tactical decisions with a dash of chance, perfect for fans of quick strategy who also want to learn world geography and mountaineering history. The win condition is to be the first to conquer all seven summits, though a game can end early if someone secures three or four peaks before the rest. It’s a fun way to travel the globe without leaving the table while testing your planning, memory, and risk‑taking skills.
