King of the Hill: The Alps

The game is set in the Alps and the goal is to claim mountains. Teams get points according to the altitude of the mountains they go to (eg 3,500m altitude = 3,500 points)

The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

The Alps go across 8 different countries: Monaco, France, Switzerland, Italy, Lichtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia and each team can claim one mountain per country.

If the two teams go to different mountains in a country both team just get their respective points. BUT (and this is where the fun starts) teams can also steal by going the same mountain.

Stealing means going to the same mountain but also going to a higher position on that mountain than the other team was.

For example: Team A just drives to a parking lot at the bottom of the mountain, claims it and immedietly moves on because of time pressure. The Team B can go there later on, do a little hike or take a cable car to get to a higher position and steal the mountain.

The only way to completly secure a mountain would be to go all the way up to the summit (or for safety reasons the hightest point you can reach on an official hiking trail)

And to keep things exciting until the end there is a multiplier. So the points of the mountain in the 1st country get multiplied x1, 2nd country x2, 3rd x3, ..., 8th x8. The later in the game the more valuable the mountains get.

I think this could make a really fun game. A lot of beautifull scenary and nature, different countries

Different strategies like the order of countries and how much time do you want to "waste" to safe a mountain vs the risk of hoping that the other team will not steal your mountain, ...

And a big diversity in transport forms: Trains for bigger distances, cars/taxis/buses to get to the mountains, cable car/ski lifts/cog rails to get on the mountain and some hiking to reach the summit.
