About the game

K3 is one of the most dangerous mountains in the world, and while many will attempt to climb, only a few will make it, so plan your steps carefully to be the last climber to survive. To begin play, the starting base will be filled with nine pegs drawn at random from those in the supply. Each player has a supply of tokens that varies based on the player count, and on a turn you place a token following certain rules; if you cannot play, you are eliminated, and the last player still in the game wins.

Questions and answers

K3 supports 2–4 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.
