What to Expect

In Premier de cordée, two alpinists compete to be the first to reach the mountain summit. Each player moves five climbers connected by a rope along a path. Movement is limited by the rope length and the positions of other climbers. Players can also push each other off. The game offers quick, tactical challenges focused on positioning and timing.

Who Is This Game For?

This game is designed for two players aged 7 and up who enjoy quick, tactical duels. With a playtime of about 10 minutes, it suits those looking for short, focused sessions. Its simple mechanics make it accessible to families and casual gamers.

How It Works

Premier de cordée uses Point to Point Movement and Race mechanics. On each turn, players move one climber connected by a rope to a free spot on their side of the mountain.
