K2 (board game)

[4] The game features a double-sided board with one side representing an easy ascent and the other a more difficult climbing route.

Each position has a stated number of climbers that can stop there meaning that it is possible to block the path upwards or downwards of opposing players.

[6] The game has been praised for the emotional response it gains from players,[3] including "moments of extreme tension".

[5] Reviews note that the theme of mountaineering is unique and interesting,[7] while the game mechanics simulate climbing, with realistic scenarios.

This gives players two challenges based on historical climbs of Broad Peak (formerly known as K3) by Polish mountaineers.
