Ready Steady Slope

Ready Steady Slope is a competitive card game themed around skiing and snowboarding for 2-6 players, ages 8+. Featuring 16 real world-class resorts, players build and complete their own mountain while navigating changing weather, difficult runs, equipment choices, and interference from rival players. Inspired by the atmosphere and unpredictability of winter sports, the game combines strategy, timing, and a little chaos.

Players take turns drawing, playing, and managing cards representing ski runs, equipment, resorts, weather conditions, and special actions. Completing runs and building a mountain layout are key to progressing, but opponents can disrupt plans with hazards, changing conditions, and tactical plays. Different combinations of cards create opportunities for both long-term strategy and short-term opportunism.

Part strategy, part timing, part changing fortunes with a sprinkle of après-ski chaos, all in a card game. Success depends on balancing risk and reward. Players must decide when to push for difficult runs, when to improve their equipment, and when to interfere with competitors. Careful hand management and timing are essential, as conditions on the mountain can change rapidly.

The winner is the first to complete all 4 runs on their mountain, also with full Equipment and Resort stacks.
