Trek 12 Himalaya Board Game - Embark on a Himalayan Adventure of Strategy and Skill! Roll and Write Game for Kids and Adults, Ages 8+, 1-50 Players, 15-30 Minute Playtime, Made by Pandasaurus Games

Neat game, but too reliant on randomness. The central mechanic involves rolling 2d6, so planning takes a back seat to the winds of fate. Maybe you'll see 50 sevens in a row. Maybe you'll play a dozen games and never see a single seven. For some that's part of the fun. I'd rather skip the game and just guess how many times out of 30 a pair of d6s will sum to x and see how close my guess was to the actual results. The strategy is functionally identical.Games need a degree of randomness or the outcome is purely deterministic. But when the randomness trivializes any semblance of strategy, it's more like Keno than a real game.
