Hike! is a light and fast card-drafting racing game in which players take on the role of mushers (dog drivers) competing in a dog sledding race.
First, they assemble their husky sleds and prepare the equipment they will need for the race. They hand-pick the huskies for their abilities and pay special attention to where in the sled they place them to form a strong and harmonized team.
And then, the race is on! Who will have the winning tactics and whose team will perform best in the treacherous terrain? The first one across the finish line is the winner!
Hike! was released on Kickstarter, where 3451 backers pledged 119 415€ to help us make Hike! a reality. Thank you to all of our Kickstarter backers who believed in us from the start! This page would not have been possible without you!

Huskies are the stars of Hike! and the core of the dog-sledding team. If you google dog sledding, you will inevitably stumble upon controversy regarding dog abuse. We want to clearly state that there is absolutely no place for such behavior in Hike!. We see dog sledding as a team activity, where mushers and huskies work together, as a team, and they respect each other and care for each other. We believe no team member’s well-being should ever be sacrificed for sports achievement!
SnowBoardGames is based in Slovenia, Europe. Slovenia is a beautiful country with mountains, forests. lakes and the sea. As outdoor enthusiasts, we thought it would be cool to include some of the places we like on the landscape cards. You can join us for a virtual tour here.
