ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for playing a board game is provided, to which the theme of mountaineering is most preferably applied. The game utilizes a standard grid as a playing field which is designed to simulate the map of a mountain. Indicia such as numbers or letters are assigned to the columns and rows of the grid so that each grid space may be identified through the use of coordinates. The grid is also divided into several sections, each of which will serve as the designated area through which an individual player will maneuver playing tokens along an established route of movement and alternates thereof. An adjustable indicator, the control of which is vied for by opponents through play action, establishes limits on the number of spaces playing tokens may advance in each of the aforementioned sections of the grid during any given turn. A deck of playing cards, which correlates to the indicia assigned to the columns and rows of the grid, provides the medium through which players act to advance their own playing tokens as they impose setbacks upon the tokens of their opponents in an effort to be the first to reach a summit finish location to win the game.
