Description
K2 is the second-highest mountain on Earth as well as the second deadliest. It’s known as the Savage Mountain, as it kills one person for every four who have reached the summit… And K2 has never been climbed in winter.
Now your team stands in its shadow, ready to climb for fame and glory. You know the dangers of K2 all too well. Extreme weather with frequent and deadly storms, exposed, steep, tricky routes and lack of oxygen await you on your way to the summit. You will test your climbing skills to death, try to outsmart the ever-changing weather and always worry about the acclimatization of your 2 mountaineers. Also there are the other teams ready to take the glory for themselves.
K2 is a board game in which each player controls a team of 2 mountaineers, trying to climb to the summit of K2 and return before the other players’ teams and before the mountain kills them. Every player uses an identical deck of cards. You use the cards to move your climbers on the route pictured on the gaming board, or to acclimatize the members of your team.
You can also set up a tent and wait for better weather. You will have to choose your path carefully, as the other mountaineers can block your way, and watch the upcoming weather which can lower your acclimatization to 0, thus killing your climbers.
K2 is a hand management game for 1-5 players, with strong interaction and low luck factor, lasting up to 60 minutes. The theme is very well represented by the mechanics, including such elements as changing weather, lack of oxygen and death of the mountaineers. The result is an exciting match for gamers and non-gamers alike.
The box includes, among other materials, a double-sided board with two different routes to the summit (easier and harder) and two sets of weather tiles (for summer and winter).

Au sommet ! | |
Nous avons une belle gestion de mains à faire dans ce jeu d'escalade. 4 niveaux de difficulté nous est offert mais par contre nous avons toujours le même paquet de cartes à chaque partie ce qui diminuent un peu la rejouabilité. Prise de risques, escalade, gestion de ressources et de cartes sont au rendez-vous ! |

Correct | |
Un bon vieux classique remis au goût du jour. Il faut escalader le K2 en contrôlant un groupe d'aventuriers. Le jeu est basé sur un deck de cartes et il faut monter et revenir sans mourir dans la montagne, en gros. |

Un super jeu d’alpinisme | |
Thématique alpine superbement exploitée. Le jeu est facile à comprendre et simple à jouer. Plus on grimpe la montagne et plus on sent l’aspect technique et dangereux de l’alpinisme. En effet il faut penser à l’acclimatation, son niveau d’énergie et la météo parfois capricieuse. Un bon jeu de table pas trop long à installer et un gameplay dynamique! |
