About Wind & Waterfalls

Wind & Waterfalls

WIND & WATERFALLS is inspired by the game Snakes & Ladders (originally called Mokshapat or Moksha Patamu).

A fantasy-tinged twist on a classic design, WIND & WATERFALLS has travelers making their way up the mountain in a spiral formation. Will you get carried up by a strong wind? Will a waterfall carry you down, hindering your progress? Watch out for wild weather conditions, too.

Friends & Foes in the form of cryptids and creatures of the forest will either help or hinder your progress. Beware the Wild Cards - they may not be in your favour.

WIND & WATERFALLS await. Welcome to the Mountain.

What’s in the box?

WIND & WATERFALLS has 25 play cards (including wild, friend and foe cards, 3 quick play instruction cards), 4 game pieces, 1 fold out game board (16” x 16”), two dice, and 1 small bag for game parts.

Each game also comes with a PDF download with full instructions.

What’s different?

WIND & WATERFALLS has different foils and roadblocks to reaching the top of the mountain. These come in the form of Foe and Wild Cards that will be drawn during the game.

Friend Cards will also help you up the mountain if they’re drawn.

WIND & WATERFALLS is recommended for ages 10+ and can be played with 2-4 players. Game play is fast and accessible, and depends on the number of players and cards drawn. Typical game play is 30 minutes/under 1 hour.

Who worked on Wind & Waterfalls?

WIND & WATERFALLS was created and illustrated by myself (Carolyn Tripp) in 2022 and released in 2023.

Special thanks goes to Brady Bothwell for game design consultation and game testing.
