About the game

What you do in a play session

If you thought climbing Summit was already a tough challenge, get ready: the Yeti expansion adds an extra layer of danger and excitement to your expedition! Now, besides worrying about the weather and fierce competition, you and your rivals will have to deal with a relentless foe lurking in the frozen landscape: the dreaded Yeti. This expansion can be incorporated into any game mode of the original Summit, whether competitive, cooperative, or even solo, ensuring the threat is felt in all situations. With two new asymmetrical player boards, each with unique abilities and stats, gameplay gains even more depth and replayability. Sixteen new cards, divided among Items, Events, and Karma, bring unexpected twists and new strategies to the mountain. A marker and the Yeti pawn itself complete the components, ready to give headaches to the most audacious climbers. The expansion promises to intensify the tension and the need to take risks as you try to reach the summit before the mountain monster gets you. It's the perfect dose of chaos and adrenaline for those who have already mastered the base game and are looking for a new level of challenge and interaction, often hostile, with other players. The language dependency is moderate, so having the cards translated can be a lifesaver for those who don't want to get lost amidst the climb and the Yeti's threats.
