This is a climbing/shedding card game where each round players will collectively create the victory points pool that is allocated to each person as they play all their cards. The deck is made up of cards 1-7, seven times each, or 1-8, eight times each, depending on the player count. Each card has tie-breaking numbers on them to allow creative options for players to play all the cards in their hands.
The size of the meld dictates the strength of the cards played. Peaks are 1 or 3-card melds, and the higher values on cards are stronger. Valleys are 2-card melds, and the lower values are stronger.
The player who best climbers the peaks and valleys of the wilderness will win the game by getting points equal to or above the goal!
