Blocky Mountains: Add-on is an expansion for Blocky Mountains released in 2014 for 1–7 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Gerhard Junker and its main mechanics are Modular Board and Cooperative Game.
The Add-on adds some chance and greater risk to your parcour climb in the Blocky Mountains: If you reveal a route card with an enhancement, you must roll the included 1/1/2/2/3/3 die to determine which route you take: the hard way hard or normal, your choice hard or normal, your choice, but you only have until the included 30-second sand timer runs out to succeed!
Blocky Mountains: Add-on supports 1–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Blocky Mountains: Add-on is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Blocky Mountains: Add-on for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
