Mountains of Madness
Players take on roles in a 1931 Antarctic scientific expedition, cooperating to traverse a newly discovered mountain range and reach the central peak. The game combines coordinated team planning with occasional real-time elements as players overcome environmental obstacles, manage resources, and resolve events that threaten the group's survival. A madness mechanic forces characters to contend with mounting psychological stress: players draw insanity cards that impair actions and communication, requiring adaptation and mutual support to complete the ascent.

Garfield2.0 Too many rules for a party game. Funny party game that makes you acting like an idiot. Rules should have been made easier for a party game.

Awesome game experience. Strategic coop party game full of them and with the right people can be funny as hell! On the first game you can feel lost, but later on, with the right strategy the game grows and becomes sooooo hilarious. Completely unique and original!
