About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to tackle the toughest summit you've ever faced! In 'Unsurmountable: Big Climb', the mountain grows to a whopping 15 cards, bringing even greater challenges and breathtaking scenery, with prayer flags and ice pillars that are as beautiful as they are dangerous. This expansion adds two new features to spice up your climb: prayer flags and seracs. These elements are crucial and work especially well with the optional difficulty rules, making the experience more intense. If you're a seasoned mountaineer, you can also combine this expansion with 'Unsurmountable: Dual Peaks'. Just imagine: facing a 15-card mega-mountain with two peaks! It's the ultimate glory for those seeking the top of the world. This game is ideal for those who already enjoy the original 'Unsurmountable' and want more challenge and variety. The new cards and mechanics bring a freshness that's well worth it for fans of solo climbing and route-building games. Button Shy continues to deliver compact and engaging experiences, perfect for those who enjoy a good challenge in a small package.
