Snowblind: Race for the Pole

Product Description

In Snowblind: Race for the Pole, you will lead a team of polar explorers in a desperate race to reach the South Pole and return alive.

Each turn you will need to carefully consider your supply chain of crates and food, and the protection of your team against the arctic elements.

Too much caution and you will never reach your goal before the dreaded pack ice returns.

How to Play

Gameplay is deceptively simple, yet deeply emergent and as brutal as the chilling environment itself.

On their turn, a player may either take a risk dice from the action board. or pass. Actions involve moving crates with explorers, hunting for food and building camps for protection from the elements.

After completing an action, a player then rolls all the risk dice they have accumulated for the round. High numbers may result in Exposure – paid with the loss of crates, the exhaustion of explorers, and sometimes even icy death. Exposure is offset by the building of Camps and keeping warm Company ( 2 or more explorers in the same zone.)

When all players pass, the round ends. A Weather card is drawn and each players suffers the Exposure result shown on the card, in their furthest occupied zone from base camp.

When the Pack Ice card is drawn from the Weather card deck, the game ends immediately and final score is tallied.
