Three-dimensional board game "MOUNTAINEERS" that tastes mountain climbing thrill and pleasure

Mountain climbing attracts climbers by thrill of confronting the vast nature, competing with other climbers, a sense of solidarity going hand in hand, and more importantly, when he won the harsh route Because there is a sense of achievement. I made the charm of such a mountain as an analog game "MOUNTAINEERS"Has become a dynamic 3D board game which thrills, solidarity, and a sense of accomplishment are boring, playing surrounding a board with a height of over 40 centimeters that I saw on a big mountain.

"MOUNTAINEERS" can play up to 6 people, if you prepare an NPC whose movement is determined by the dice, you can play alone with one person. Target age is over 10, play time is from 30 minutes to 120 minutes depending on the number of players and items to use.


The set consists of three panels, a panel of mountains assembled as fields, a large number of cards used in games, and markers to install in the field. A towering high mountain catches eyes.


The field of 'MOUNTAINEERS' is as high as 45 centimeters when assembled.


The cards can be roughly divided into two types. The "event card" pulled every turn is an important element for acquiring "supply token" necessary for climbing. There are quite a variety of event cards as there are in the image, and it is likely to happen at the time of mountain climbing, such as the thing that the weather of the mountain changes to gallerly and makes progress difficult, and things that you have to devise to devise so as not to encounter the bear Various events are prepared and will greatly boost the game.


The card of "mountain route" is important for winning in the game. "MOUNTAINEERS" is a board game to climb mountains, but it is not necessarily the goal to climb. Progressing according to pre-distributed "climbing routes" and marking the correct footprints is the player's score.


Players can consume a "supply token" and move to somewhere in six places adjacent to their current location. Placing a marker on the footprints that we walked so that we will aim at the route marked on the mountain route card. You can also go over markers of other players or other players themselves, but you can not rewrite the markers of where you passed. Mental brain playing such as preferentially securing the place where you really want, obstructing the path of the advantageous player seems to become important.


There are plenty of difficulties in mountains such as Rock and Glacier.


You can also upgrade the tool by consuming "supply token", such as skiing on the snowy field and harnessing at the rocky place. As long as you have the upgraded tool, you will be able to proceed quickly using the tools, usually where you could only move one square. Moreover, by consuming "supply token" further, you can purchase a helicopter that can move to a favorite place and "Sabotage" which removes the footprint markers of other players, and the game will get more heated.


The element that makes the game even more thrilling is the existence of "Automated Climbers". "Automated Climbers" makes the movement determined by the card, but the movement of each turn is random by the dice. However, if only "move" is good, as the turn advances, "sabotage (destroy marker)" comes in, so it will not be a place to climb instead of climbing.


As the game progresses, fields are filled with footprint markers one after another. It's becoming a board game where you can taste the thrill of mountain climbing, challenging spirit and sense of accomplishment with rivals, "You might misunderstand that you are in the mountain".
