Trek 12: a roll-n-write adventure

Releasing in November

 

Here is our final release of 2021! Trek 12 is a fast-paced roll-n-write where you ascend the highest mountain peaks across the Himalayas!

Roll 2 dice, then all players simultaneously decide how to use the result on their player sheet, by either: taking the higher number, taking the lower number, or adding, subtracting, or multiplying both dice. Each option can only be used 4 times per game, causing some tricky situations in later rounds!

As you trek across the mountain, you will create "fixed lines" of consecutive numbers and "mapped zones" of matching values. The more numbers you have in these lines and zones, the more bonus points you will earn!

Once you are more familiar with gameplay, you can tackle the Expedition Mode, which introduces campaign elements. Finish 3 back-to-back ascents of different mountains and recruit other skilled climbers to help you reach new heights.

What's more, by completing specific Challenges, you'll open envelopes that will introduce secret content to future games!

Pandasaurus Games is a group of avid lovers of the outdoors and at least one semi-serious rock climber. We feel that it is important to remember that climbing areas are not playgrounds, but places that people call home. In that regard, we are making a donation to two amazing charities that support the Sherpas, Tibetans, and Nepalis that call the Himalayan mountains their home.

• The American Himalayan Foundation builds schools, plants trees, trains doctors, funds hospitals, takes care of children and the elderly, and restores sacred sites throughout the Himalayas. The SanFrancisco-based organization also helps Tibetans rebuild and maintain their culture both in exile and within Tibet.
  
  
• CARE Nepal works across the spectrum of humanitarian action and long-term development programs to address gender-based violence, women and girls’ leadership and voice, inclusive governance, sexual reproductive health, livelihoods, food and nutrition security, disaster risk reduction, and climate change.
