Ice axe? Check. Crampons? Check. Oxygen? Check. Radio? Check. Weather window? Confirmed... All right, we're ready to climb! In Karakorum, you take on the role of an experienced mountain guide leading daring expeditions to three of the world's highest peaks in the Karakorum range. It's no walk in the park, though, as you'll need strategic planning when playing your summit cards, quick thinking to build up your expedition stacks, and a keen eye on your opponents' moves to reach your goals before they do. At the end of the game, the expeditions that reached the highest point on each mountain will be recognized — but that doesn't guarantee victory! The winner is the player who manages to conquer all three peaks, or who leads all of their teams consistently high up the mountains.
