K2

K2 is a board game designed by Adam Kałuża in which players are challenged to climb the mountain of the same name. K2 is the second-highest mountain on Earth and is known as the Savage Mountain, as it kills one person for every four who summit it. The game was first published in 2010 by Rebel.pl and became the first Polish game to be nominated for a Spiel des Jahres award.

Why is K2 Popular?

K2 is a popular game due to its unique theme and challenging gameplay. The game has received critical acclaim and has been nominated for several awards, including the Spiel des Jahres and the International Gamers Award. The game’s popularity can also be attributed to its solo playability and the level of interaction between players due to the limited space on the board.
