About the game
The cool race to get the best pictures! The kids slip into the roles of well known photographers and try to get pictures of the legendary yeti while climbing the icy mountain with their mountaineers. That's not as easy as it sounds as the other players can trigger avalanches to push the climbers from the mountain. The player who gets the best shots of the Yeti is the winner. Each turn the players roll a die in order to determine if they can start an avalanche or move the Yeti or their pair of climbers. The mountaineers form a rope team and can move within the range of their rope.
