This game is the follow-up to our boardgame 'Backpacks and Blisters', riding high on the popularity of it's sibling game. Actually it's a better game than the original in my opinion as it's got really mean weather! There's nothing like seeing your rivals stuck in a 'white out' while carrying the Heavy Rucksack, armed with only a hip flask of winter warmer to see them through.
The basic mechanics are the same as 'Backpacks....' but with extra ingredients such as Equipment Cards to spice the gameplay up a bit. It comes with a large size cloth map which doubles as a clean-up cloth in case you spill the beer over it - fully machine washable of course!
It's not a complex game and children can easily learn to play but it's also got enough decision making involved so that adult gamers can get a good interactive game out of it aswell.
