Alpina

About this board game

Alpina is a 20-minute board game for 2-4 players about exploring the Swiss National Park and photographing animals in their natural habitat.

Take on the role of a photographer with a camera around your neck as you search for remarkable wildlife. The spotted nutcracker, grass frogs, and other animals offer opportunities to collect points through an original system connected to the landscape and interaction with your neighbors.

Every decision asks you to weigh two competing aims. You can play a card to score more points, or use an opportunity to deceive your opponents. The challenge is finding the card and timing the play that balances these objectives most effectively.

• Explore the Swiss National Park through its landscape.
• Photograph animals in their natural habitat.
• Collect points through landscape-related interaction.
• Choose between stronger scoring plays and deception.

Alpina rewards close attention to the choices happening around you. Interaction with your neighbors is central to the experience, making each opportunity more than a simple way to increase your score.

With its compact playing time and focus on wildlife photography, Alpina offers a distinctive setting for a tense contest of observation, timing, and decision-making. Decide whether to pursue points directly or conceal your intentions, then aim for the balance that leads to victory.
