Description

Game about the epic of the conquest of the Poles during the years 1908 to 1912 with a system of pushing your luck and with historical explorers both in the North Pole and in the South Pole. Each player will organize an expedition and launch it on an adventure, winning the one that achieves the best milestones (closest to the Poles). Expeditions are organized by spending money that each Explorer (with a card that represents it) contributes, by means of sledges, animals, provisions and equipment. The development of each expedition combines chance with Weather and Terrain cards and the decision to push your luck... with Freezing, Hunger or Disorientation problems. Victory conditions depend on how far the Expeditions go (closest to the two Poles), which will give Victory points. It can be played alone or with two players and each one can take several Historical Explorers.
