Alpenglow: The Ski Resort Board Game | Fun Strategy Game for Adults and Teens | 2-5 Players | Includes Apres Ski Expansion Game Overview ALPENGLOW just opened up the mountain to skiers and has invited you to build a world class ski resort. Do you have what it takes to grow the village, build an expansive network of chairlifts and ski runs, and secure the rights to manage the mountain? Join your fellow ski resort tycoons in a strategic engine building game that combines several familiar game mechanics to create a fun yet challenging experience. The game has elements of tile laying, card playing, area control, pickup and delivery, and network building combined in two core areas: the mountain where you build your ski area competitively and the village where you expand the town to attract skiers working together with the other players. Its time to hit the slopes! Every game is a new adventure with the included Aprs Ski mini expansion. Randomize the board during setup, head into the backcountry for one time bonuses and upgrade your resort with asymmetric player powers! Key Features Tutorial mode where players can learn by playing. Easy to read rulebook with illustrated examples and player aids. 100+ wooden skier and snowboarder skiples in 4 colors. Over 100 run and goal cards with casino-quality linen finish.

Gameplay A game of Alpenglow is played over 2 seasons of 5 action packed turns where players: pick up skiers and take actions to build their ski area, play run cards, and add buildings to the village and ski areas, and open ski areas to allow skiers to hit the slopes. Collect money to keep building and Victory Points to inch towards victory. Reviews "Alpenglow mixes area control with pickup and deliver set in a idyllic winter village. The game plays quite quick after the first time you play. There are a lot of points that build into the rich set of decisions players will make during the game." "This is a perfect centerpiece for a game night especially with a nice hot drink and the fire place going on these upcoming winter nights." - Bert (Bert's Tabletop Games) "Best part by far is seeing the mountain change through the game, then physically sending skiers up and down the mountain is fulfilling. Watching the board change in any game is super engaging and seeing it start with basically nothing to ending with tons of runs and chairlifts is exciting and gives a sense of accomplishment even if you don't win." - Matt Mlinarcik "Simple mechanics coupled with complex strategy bring a rewarding experience to playing the game but with just enough RNG to give less experienced players options to claim victory." - Jason and Adam (Table Top Vibes) "We finished up our first playthrough and really enjoyed it. Its super thematic which we love in our board games and its so unique." - Shelby and Joe (@boardgamesfortwo) "Even though the actions you go through on your turn are very concise and logical, the amount of depth in this game is awesome. Every turn feels important and there are a lot of options to choose from. We really enjoyed planning our turns in advance to get the best turn possible every time." - Colin (@despelbreker) Features BUILD YOUR SKI RESORT in this fun and strategic board game!
