K2 is the second largest mountain in the world (after Mount Everest) with a height of 8611 meters (28,251 ft) above sea level. It is also considered one of the most difficult "eight-thousanders" - K2 has never been conquered in winter.
Now your team of climbers stands in the shadow of the mountain, ready to climb to the peak for glory and fame. You know well what awaits you - constantly changing weather, a steep treacherous trail, and a lack of oxygen will be your deadly enemies in this dangerous expedition. You will need to carefully plan every step, use the clear days well, and compete with other teams ready to snatch the glory from you.
Players will move their mountaineers on the board with cards which they play every turn. The higher the particular climber goes, the more victory points the climber earns. But in the upper parts of the mountain one must be careful about a climber's acclimatization level. If it falls below 1, the exhausted mountaineer dies, and the player receives no victory points gained by that climber.
