What is 5.15: A Rock Climbing Card Game about?

Rock climb like a pro! Choose your style: boulderer, trad, sport, or alpine. Challenge yourself on easier climbs, from 5.6 to 5.14, as you gain strength and collect gear. Take on one of the world’s hardest climbs on a 5.15 when you’re ready!

Your goal is to be the first climber to climb a 5.15. At the beginning of each game everybody starts with a
climbing strength of 5.7 and their choice of climbing Style.

 

The game proceeds in rounds.
There are four phases in each round:

  1. Crag phase: choose whether to attempt a climb.
  2.  Setback phase: play Setbacks and Weather on
    other climbers.
  3.  Climb phase: resolve climb attempts, if necessary
    boost strength with Action cards or Bail.
  4. Rest phase: check that everybody has four or fewer
    cards and rotate the dealer.

To succeed on a climb, your climbing strength must be greater than the climb difficulty. To send this 5.9, you need to be 5.10

When you are strong enough, you can choose to attempt a 5.15. If you succeed, you win!
