Let's Hit The Trails

Players embark on an epic mountain-trekking expedition, blazing a trail through uncharted terrain. Your goal? Mark the path along the way and hike the most paths.

Each turn, you place one of your three tiles on the map and then either 1) place one of your hikers on that tile or 2) buddy up two of your hikers to save for a double move later.

The rules are simple, but the decisions are tough!

Hikers only score if they are on a path of 4 continuous numbers. Do you join an opponents’ trail to team up, or block their path with one of your own? Do you forgo a sure placement to buddy up your hikers for a perfect space next turn? Will that space even be available next turn?

Chloe N. ★★★★★

We’ve played it three times in one sitting and the trail-marking mechanic keeps every turn tense—you’re always second-guessing which route to claim. The mountain trek theme really comes through in the artwork, and the setup is quick enough for a weeknight.

Riley B. ★★★★★

The game board is beautifully detailed, making each turn feel like a real hike through the mountains. We’ve played a dozen times and the scoring system for marking the most paths keeps it competitive every time.
