Trailhead is a board game about surviving the extremes of the great outdoors. A dice game with a strategic twist, Trailhead is easy to learn and perfect for both the kitchen table or the campsite. Lost in the wilderness and running low on water, your goal is to be the first player to reach the trailhead. Collect Trail Markers to move forward, but watch out—you lose water at the end of every turn! As you venture through the wilderness, you can collect Survival Cards that give you a boost, hinder other players, or alter the trail itself.
