About the game
"Your group of adventurers barely entered the labyrinthine tunnels of Goblin Mountain when the inevitable happens: you get lost and the goblins get wind of your presence. Time to find a way out fast and, of course, fill your pockets with every gem and coin you can get your hands on on the way. And don't forget to stick together! Because bad things happen when you split up the group... always!" Goblin Mountain is a competitive dice-placement game, where 2 players take turns to move their adventurers (dice) through a linear dungeon and maximize treasure and fame while trying to make it to the exit without getting caught by the goblins. —description from the designer As part of the 2018 9-Card Nanogame Contest, Goblin Mountain won: 1st place - Best Artwork (34 competitors) 2nd place - Best Overall Game (70 competitors) 2nd place - Best Two Player Game (48 competitors) 2nd place - Best New Designer (33 competitors) 2nd place - Best Written Rules (47 competitors) 3rd place - Best Solitaire Game (25 competitors) 9th place - Most Innovative Mechanic (36 competitors) Components 9 cards 8 six-sided dice (2 orange, 2 yellow, 2 black, 2 blue) 9 cubes (2 orange, 2 yellow, 2 green, 3 blue) 1 pawn (solo mode only)

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Goblin Mountain for ages 12 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.
Goblin Mountain has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
