Description
Get ready to embark on an adventure of a lifetime with the Appalachian Trail Game: Special Edition. In this exciting game, 2 to 4 players can hike their way along the nearly 2,200 mile footpath from Georgia to Maine, all from the comfort of their own homes. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, players of all ages and experience levels can join in on the fun. The game is designed to be educational and entertaining, teaching players about hiking first aid, leave no trace camping and backpacking skills, plant and animal identification, and trail history. As players make their way along the trail, they'll encounter various challenges and opportunities, from emergency scenarios that require the right gear to chance encounters that can either help or hinder their progress. With card drafting and point to point movement mechanics, players will need to strategize and make smart decisions to stay ahead of the game. The first player to complete a thru hike, arriving at either Katahdin or Springer Mountain, wins the game. But it's not just about being the first to finish - players also earn points for correctly answering questions and using their gear effectively, making it a fun and engaging way to learn about the Appalachian Trail and hiking in general. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just a couch potato, this game is a great way to experience the thrill of the trail from the comfort of your own home.
