Game Specifications
Hike It! is a heavily themed, mid-weight, strategy-based tabletop board game that offers solo, competitive, and team options. Every game is unique because YOU determine your route, you pack your own gear, and you decide how much you want to push your luck to brave the elements and mother nature.
Welcome to the Great Smoky Mountains!
You are about to embark on an epic backpacking trip in the beautiful Appalachian Mountain range. During your trek you will be visiting iconic scenic spots, managing your gear and water supply, and developing critical skills sets.. While in the backwoods, you will face challenges – such as injury, exhaustion, wildlife, and weather – that you will need to overcome to maintain your health. Some days will be easier than others; it all depends on how well you plan, how easily you can adapt, and how much you want to push your luck.

Launching this fall on Kickstarter
Hike It! will not be published straight to retail for purchase, but will rather be crowdfunded. Crowdfunding is basically a way for a customer to “preorder” a product before it is made to help fund the expense of manufacturing upfront. And since Kickstarter is the world’s largest and most trusted crowdfunding platform – we have chosen them for our launch vehicle.
Summer 2022 is when the Kickstarter campaign will launch and you will have about a 21-day window to preorder your copy. The game is expected to be completed and delivered around spring of 2023.
