## Description
Embark on an icy adventure in the Age of Discovery with Through Ice & Snow! The British Empire is obsessed with finding the Northwest Passage to Asia, and that's where you come in. As a daring explorer, your mission is to lead expeditions through the Arctic, uncovering mysteries, mapping inhospitable territories, and documenting new species to become the most prestigious explorer of the era. Prepare for a board that expands and reveals new routes as you progress, making each game a unique experience. You'll command a ship and a crew with specialized officers: the Carpenter, a master of construction; the Scientist, focused on inventions; and the Captain, the expedition's leader. Oh, and don't forget the Inuit guides, essential for finding supplies, improving sleds, and ensuring successful hunts. But beware, the Arctic doesn't forgive! Face relentless weather events, food scarcity, and the risk of mutiny. Every decision counts to ensure your expedition is remembered in the annals of history, not just another legend lost to the eternal ice. This game combines exploration, resource management, and a touch of luck, ideal for those who enjoy challenges and immersive narratives.
