A roll-and-write mountaineering game where two dice become one number each roll, using your choice of add, subtract, multiply, or keep the higher or lower. Write numbers into adjacent spaces to build long chains and clusters, but you can only use each maths option four times per climb.

Five maths options, each used only four timesBuild chains and clusters on your sheetProgressive difficulty and huge player counts

Who it's for

Roll-and-write fans and puzzle lovers who want crunchy number decisions, a difficulty curve, and a game that scales to almost any group size.

Not for you if…

You dislike maths on the fly or shared-roll games with little interaction. Number-crunching every turn can feel like homework to players who want theme and drama.

Vibe's take

Compulsive just-one-more-roll pull with crunchy placement squeezed out of two dice and a dwindling toolkit.
