How to play
- The fell has eleven trails, one for each sum of two dice, 2 to 12. Trail 7 is the longest (13 steps) because 7 comes up most often, 2 and 12 the shortest (3 steps).
- On your turn you roll four dice and split them into two pairs. Each pair’s sum moves a climber one step up that trail.
- You have three white climbers each turn. A new climber starts one step above your camp on that trail (or at the bottom). Once all three are out, you can only climb on their trails.
- If only one pair can be used, you climb with that one. If both fit on their own but not together, you choose which.
- After each climb you choose: roll again, or stop. When you stop, you make camp where the climbers stand, and what you climbed is safe.
- Rockfall: if no pair can be used, the climbers fall back and everything you climbed this turn is lost. The turn moves on.
- Reach the top of a trail and stop, and that peak is yours. Other camps on that trail are removed and nobody can climb there any more.
- The first to take three peaks wins. With two or three players you can choose two, three or four peaks; with four players you can choose two or three. If a fourth player joins with a goal of four, the goal changes to three.
