Blazing Thru

Blazing Thru the Appalachian Trail is a lightweight card game designed by a long-distance hiker for hikers and gamers alike. Players fill the role of backpackers following the white blazes painted on trees, moving forward from Georgia to Maine.

Using an open draft of Trail cards from a shared Planner area, players place and score cards representing memorable locations and towns along “The Trail,” collecting variable bonuses as they manage their energy and resources — in the form of Hiker tokens — to score points on Trail cards. They can manage turns further by using Gear cards to their advantage.

Players also enjoy the rewards of a varied hiking adventure with the Hiking deck: spotting wildlife, enduring weather, and sharing experiences in order to achieve their ultimate goal: reaching the end of the Appalachian Trail!
