Summit

From Canadian game designer Conor McGoey comes a complex but exciting game based on the challenges of ascending a mountain. The players have to contend with climbing gear, food supplies, oxygen, blizzards, ice fields and all the hazards of mountain climbing to reach the top and return to base camp. A great feature of the game is that it can be played as a solo game, a cooperative game or as a competitive game.


There are a couple of expansions available. Teams adds new cards and characters, and a new playable tile type: ladders. According to the website, the Yeti expansion “brings a new level of excitement and distress to your expedition as you, your friends and your rivals are stalked across the frozen landscape by an unrelenting foe.”

And there will soon be a new expansion: Sanity, which challenges the climber's mental fitness to conquer the summit. Planned for release sometime in 2023.

Here are a couple of good videos by the creator of the game, Conor McGoey, explaining the Cooperative/Solo version and the Competitive version of the game. And here is another video of a full play-through of the game.
