10 Essentials Card Game

Backcountry: Appalachian Trail Edition

Backcountry: Great Smoky Mountain Edition

If you are new to backpacking or a seasoned hiker, we are sure you will find yourself at home in our exciting games about the wilderness.  Backcountry: The Game of Wilderness Survival is built for the trail.  In fact, that’s where it all began (read our story). It is a challenging game of skill, strategy and a lot of trail humor.

You will find yourself facing bears, fording rivers, and climbing through snow. All the while you must keep track of your food units, battle injuries and hold onto your gear.  The rewards are great! Scenic points await you at every turn and the fastest hiker enjoys some bonus time at the local gear store.  As you head into the Backcountry, be prepared to barter gear, exchange food for equipment and prepare for the countless dangers on the trail.  It is not for the faint of heart! Try the Great Smoky Mountain Edition or the classic Appalachian Trail Edition.

10 Essentials is quickly becoming our most popular game! It is fast, fun and educational.  Learn what it takes to be prepared for the wild!

Grab your game today and hit the trail.  The Backcountry awaits!
