The aim of the game, is to get to the summit of the mountain in the center of the board and return to base camp. Sounds easy.. but its not just you, since you're roped together with your support team. Each player has three climbers roped together as a support team and another two roped together as an assault team. The support team has to be moved to a supply base first, after which the assault team can start up, but they have to link up with the support team before they reach the summit. The first player to summit and then return to their base camp wins. The different colored spaces require different number of movement points to traverse. The movement points available are determined by a spinner.
