About the Games
Expedition – The Board Game
The aim of the game is to visit peaks and points of interest and return to a base camp in as little time as possible and ahead of the other players. To do this, players run their own expedition by selecting equipment, choosing their route and deciding where to camp.
Players gain points by visiting peaks and points of interest. The winner is the person to collect the highest number of points and/or achieving their mission before other players.
Players can choose different ways to play:
Quick Expedition – This is the easiest and fastest way of playing, with no equipment choice and where speed of movement is determined by dice.
Mission Expedition – Players are given a set of peaks and points of interest to visit, the winner being the one to complete their mission and return to a basecamp ahead of the other players.
Flags Expedition – Players visit as many peaks and/or points of interest as they can, choosing their own destinations and interacting with other players to collect more points than their competitors.
Expedition – The Card Game
The card game is in development. The basic aim of the game is the same as for the board game, but with no board, route cards or pens, the game is much more compact. After choosing equipment, players earn ‘UK peak cards’ by collecting map tiles. As with the board game, players have to choose between travelling light with more risk or taking more equipment, slowing their movement but reducing risk.
