Adventure Trek

You are an adventure racer who has entered the most exciting race of your life. It's not just a race; it's a test of skill and endurance that will push the limits of your abilities! While the game is easy to play, it demands all your wit and endurance to overcome your opponents, battle fatigue, and navigate the unforgiving terrain. Are you prepared for the challenge, or will the course spit you out? The basic mechanic of Adventure Trek is the use of points to advance your player across the board. Each movement costs ‘movement points’ which you can spend to traverse the different terrain tiles on the way to the finish. Additionally, “Experience” modifier cards will be available and those can perform various tasks such as granting additional movement points or allowing travel to additional spaces. The game is a race from the left side of the board to the right, using a bit of luck and an basic action point economy. During each turn, players must decide if they will try to move one or more spaces on the board. Simple movement points are not enough though and the variability of terrain and weather is introduced by a dice roll here. Some types of terrain are more difficult to access in real life - it’s generally easier to traverse a grassland than a mountaintop and those challenges are represented in the minimum dice score you need to move. Your dice rolls can be augmented with Experience cards and Experience tokens which you collect as you go through each space on the board. Each time you play, you’ll reset the entire course by randomizing the terrain tiles into the slots on the board. In the box, you’ll find twice as many terrain tiles as you need to fill the slots on the board so there is a ton of opportunity for re-play. Within the game instructions, you will also find options for varying game lengths from ‘sprint’ to ‘expedition’ using some or all of the terrain tiles.
