Game Night, With Chalk-On-Hands Energy
Cats. Vikings. Dragons. You’ve played these board games before. Boulder Bluff brings you a sports-forward, energetic, and social board game theme.
Boardgamers who climb (or have climbed) love Boulder Bluff because it keeps them in the climbing mindset… even when their forearms are cooked.
The Rules Are Simple. The Reads Aren’t.
Pick Your Move
On your turn, you either Prep (draw an extra Climb card to build your hand) or Climb (attempt one of three revealed bouldering routes).
Play Your Cards
When you climb, you play Climb cards with at least one face-up, and the rest face down. You’re giving the table a clue without handing them the truth.
Draw From the Chalk Bag
Each climber draws a chalk token from the velvet bag (-1 to +2) and adds it to their power. That small swing is where the tension lives.
Call the Bluff or Back Off
Other players decide: join your climb or sit out. If nobody joins, you take the route without revealing your cards!
Score and Survive
Route values become points. Failed attempts earn injury tokens that reduce your final score. Colour combos and action cards reward timing and nerve.
