K3^*

K3 is an abstract strategy game about a dangerous mountain climb. You stack wooden pieces cleverly and try to be the last one standing.

What's it about?

K3 is one of the world's toughest mountains. Many try the climb, few make it. You place your pieces on the mountain under fixed rules. If you cannot play, you are out. The last player left in the game wins.

How it plays

1. Fill the base camp with nine random pegs.
2. On your turn, place one of your pieces by the rules.
3. Anyone who cannot play is eliminated.

Step by step you climb higher until only one person remains.

What's in the box

• 55 wooden playing pieces
• a cotton bag
• a rulebook

Who is it for?

For anyone age 8 and up who enjoys short, tricky strategy with quality wooden parts. There is a competitive mode and a co-operative one.

Conclusion

An elegant little stacking game with clear rules and a nice feel in the hand. If you want a big adventure, look elsewhere, but for quick thinking games it is strong.
