K3

An abstract survival game where climbers place tokens on a hazardous mountain and try to remain playable longer than everyone else. Randomly arranged starting pegs constrain each move, so a blocked route eliminates you and leaves the last climber standing.

Read the full game description

K3 is one of the most dangerous mountains in the world, and while many will attempt to climb, only a few will make it, so plan your steps carefully to be the last climber to survive. To begin play, the starting base will be filled with nine pegs drawn at random from those in the supply. Each player has a supply of tokens that varies based on the player count, and on a turn you place a token following certain rules; if you cannot play, you are eliminated, and the last player still in the game wins.
