Climb harder, weirder, and funnier — one card at a time
Every boulder problem becomes a new challenge with a simple draw from the deck.
Playing is Easy!
Play solo or with a group!
Beta Break is meant to be played at the climbing gym! That’s right, the cards challenge you to climb in interesting, unique, and often weird ways.
1
Choose a single boulder problem that you will all climb. Think of this problem like the game board in a traditional table top game.
2
Start by randomly choosing a Beta card and a Break card to be the first active effects.
Beta cards dictate the entire climb.
Break cards force a single move.
Shuffle the remaing cards. The shuffled cards become the Draw pile.
3
Next, the first player draws a single card.
4
The newly drawn Beta or Break card replaces the previous Beta and Break cards.
5
The player attempts to climb the problem using the two Beta and Break cards. Fail the send, the player is out. Succeed the send, and the next player draws a card and climbs.
The winner remains when all other players have failed a send.
★★★★★
A great tool and fun twist for climbing gym sessions.
…It’s a permanent resident of my gym bag, and it’s been holding up quite well to the usage from adoring fans.
★★★★★
Great for an initial meetup!
It’s been a hit explaining the rules and collaborating with each other. The rules can easily be modified and changed to fit even the most hesitant of climbers but it’s a fun challenge for experienced individuals as well.
The Indoor Bouldering Card Game
Take a break from the beta by breaking the beta! Beta Break is a card game that turns any boulder problem at the climbing gym into a competitive card game with your climbing friends.
