K2: Lhotse

K2: Lhotse is an expansion of K2 in which the players' task is to lead the team of two climbers as close as possible to the summit. The expansion includes an alternative, two-sided board, and new weather tiles. K2: Lhotse also introduces a completely new mechanics - fixed rope tokens which allow you to set your own routes.

Each side of the board offers a different scenario and a different challenge.

The first scenario is a demanding and strategic fight against time and weather. The board showing the southern wall is divided not only by height but also into three vertical sectors, dividing it into the eastern, central and western parts. The new set of weather tiles will show a different aura depending on the sector.

Each side of the board offers a different scenario and a different challenge.

The first scenario is a demanding and strategic fight against time and weather. The board showing the southern wall is divided not only by height but also into three vertical sectors, dividing it into the eastern, central and western parts. The new set of weather tiles will show a different aura depending on the sector. The player's toolkit has been enriched with fixed rope tokens thanks to which players will be able to set up new routes between the already known ones. These ropes will allow for more efficient escape from bad weather or deadly landslides.

The second scenario is a fast race to the top of Lhotse from the safer side, the southern pass, which is also the easiest way to Mount Everest. Players will have fewer cards to use, as they will have to discard 3 of them at the very beginning. However the better cards they discard, the more extra victory points they receive at the end of the game! Additionally, in this scenario the time becomes even more important: the climb will last only 15 days, so players will have to hurry up their way to the top.
