Switchbacks

Switchbacks is a quick tile-laying game of mountain trekking in which players blaze trails and score hikers on continuous paths.

Each turn you place one of your three elevation tiles on the map, then either place one of your hikers on it or buddy up two hikers to save for a double move later. Hikers only score on a path of four continuous numbers, so you decide whether to join an opponent's trail or block it with your own. The rules are simple but the decisions are tough, and it plays quickly enough for several games in a row. Available now at Boarding School Games - hit the trail.
