A fast 2-6 player game in which you assemble your husky sled and race through the snowy wilderness.
The photo above shows a prototype copy. The components of the production copies may look slightly different, and the colour of the wooden cubes will likely change. Mentor cards will have an illustration on them – the art was not ready when we printed the prototype series. All cards are standard poker-sized cards.
Game components and gameplay are language-independent. All games will include an English rulebook booklet, and we will do our best to add other languages as downloadable pdfs. Our native language, Slovene will also be available.
Become a musher, assemble your husky sled, and race through the snowy wilderness!
First, choose the huskies for their abilities – snowflake movement points, and place them into the sled. But careful! Huskies have characters and not all of them like each other, so be sure to match the neighboring’s cards’ edges.
Do you have the equipment to get through the treacherous terrain, and have you taken enough time to train and care for your huskies? Make sure that you are well prepared, once you start racing, every musher is on their own.
You are ready to race! Use the combination of your huskies’ skills and equipment to cover the longest daily distance. And may the best musher win!

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!
