In Husky, players take roles as mushers in a race through Alaska. Players present movement cards from their hands to press their mushers towards the finish line. The movement of a musher is based on the current weather, which is determined at the beginning of each turn. Players also move animals with the goal of attempting to "attack" other mushers. When a musher is attacked, he/she loses a turn. There are also event cards that add some variation to movement and gameplay. Throughout the game players must move through each checkpoint before proceeding further in the race. The first person to reach the finish is the victor.
