climb!
Reach new heights with Climb!
The first dexterity game by Le Scorpion masqué
CLIMB! is a game for 1-5 players (yes, one!) ages 10 and older.
CLIMB! is a very clever and original game. To reach the summit, players use holes on cards as holds of the route. Performing complex manoeuvres is the key: the more fingers a player puts on the table, the more points he scores. But watch the fall. If any card moves, your turn stops.
To make it even more interesting, each hold is bordered by a colour code you must follow. One finger can only be in one colour... (*a code helps colour-blind persons).
Solo climbing
You can play CLIMB! alone too! Download the routes created by Benoit Michaud himself, the designer of the game, and place your route cards as indicated. You must reach the score in the hexagon in one try, following standard rules. Good luck!

Variant for little scorpions (or beginning great scorpions)
Younger players may gradually learn the rules by concentrating first on their fingers. Give them a better chance to reach the summit by flipping the route cards, so every finger can go in any hold. Once you master the basics, play with regular rules.
Speed Variant
Every expert will tell you, CLIMBing! is also a matter of speed. Experiment CLIMB! in a completely new way with this little variant. Players create the route as usual, placing a minimum of 12 holds (instead of 10). The objective is to reach the summit as fast as possible. Players must respect the same 4 rules. One player climbs while another keeps time. Time starts when the active player puts a finger in the Base camp. Time stops when he reaches the summit. Keep track of this time. Modify the route according to the regular rules.
After three rounds, the player with the lowest total wins the game! If a player falls, the timekeeper stops time and replaces the route cards, if necessary. The active player then begins again from the Base camp, without the time being reset to zero. If a player exceeds one minute, write down one minute for this round.
