About the game

What you do in a play session

Strap on your skis and get ready, because the powder is perfect in Super Slopes! This super-fast game puts you in the shoes of a skier aiming for the best run of the day. Each turn, you'll select a route card from the community row to add to your personal mountain. Choose wisely, as these cards will form your unique descent, creating a true maze of slopes! The goal is to craft the most epic combination of runs. Throughout the game, you'll build your personal map by adding cards, managing your hand to grab the right routes, and even using cards cleverly for multiple purposes. The trick is to connect the dots and build your ideal path, but watch out for obstacles! Shapes and energy bars grant you precious points, but the dreaded Yetis and trees in your way can cost you dearly. In the end, you'll choose one of your created runs and tally your score. Whoever racks up the highest score wins the ultimate descent! It's a tile-placement and route-building game that fits in your pocket, perfect for those who love a quick, thematic challenge.

Super Slopes is a light and fast-paced game, ideal for warming up or concluding a game night. With sessions lasting around 15 minutes, it's perfect for playing solo or with up to two friends. The mechanic of adding tiles to your personal map and hand management for selecting the best routes are quite intuitive. The skiing theme is well-implemented, and the tension of avoiding obstacles while chasing points adds to its charm. If you enjoy games with multi-use cards, route building, and a touch of luck, you'll love Super Slopes. It's the kind of game that makes you say 'just one more round!'
