HISTORICAL ADVENTURE · 1817-1820
THE CROSSING OF THE ANDES
Three missions. One army. One freedom.
✠ ✠ ✠
January 1817. General San Martín summons you before dawn: the Army of the Andes will cross the highest mountain range in America to liberate Chile, and you, Sergeant of Grenadiers, receive a mission that allows no mistakes.
Extreme cold, Zonda wind, spies among the muleteers, and decisions with the weight of History. There are no cardboard heroes here: every choice costs something.

Your milestones of glory travel with you from one mission to the next.
✠ THE MOUNTAIN RANGE DOES NOT FORGIVE
The Zonda doesn't ask permission.
No one is left behind.
The mountain bites too.
✠ WHO ACCOMPANIES YOU
General José de San MartínSupreme Commander. He sees far, speaks little, and knows how to wait. He gives clear orders; the execution is yours.
Brigadier Bernardo O'HigginsVanguard. Impetuous, brave, always in a hurry. He speaks of routes, speed, and the morale of the Chilean troops.
The Muleteer CruzMountain guide. Speaks little and in proverbs. He knows the Zonda, the secret paths, and who is not who they seem.
Verona PizzaArmy spy and your ally. Flirtatious, cunning, and with a smile that hides more than it reveals. She obtains provisions and tells what few know about how the campaign was conceived.
Lieutenant Colonel Juan Manuel CabotHead of the San Juan division. Methodical and curt. He speaks of provisions, mules, false messengers, and guerrillas.
✠ HOW TO PLAY
Each turn you receive a scenario, a dialogue, and a dilemma with numbered options. You can also act on your own.
Morale: the troops' spirit.
Provisions: food, mules, and shelter.
Intelligence: what you know about the enemy.
If any of these drops too low, the mission is in danger. A campaign card (the envelope) shows its status: touch it to open it.
No one will give you the solution, but there will always be a clue for those who know how to listen.

CREATOR'S NOTE
THE FEAT THAT SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE
✠ ✠ ✠
January 1817. Ahead, the highest mountain range in America: peaks over six thousand meters high, trails no wider than a mule, a wind that steals your breath. Behind, an army that decided freedom was worth more than comfort.
Six columns. A single plan. While the enemy looked at the wrong pass, a patient general moved a continent as one moves pieces on a chessboard.
You will not watch this feat from afar: you will cross it. Between the cold and the Zonda wind, between the troops and the spies, you will meet the men who crossed those mountains. They were not marble heroes. They were hungry, afraid, and cold, and they advanced just the same.
Here, the dates, the columns, the battles, and the leaders are as they were. What happens between them is up to you. Only Cruz and Verona were born in this fiction, to accompany you.
There are no shortcuts. There are no miracles. Only the mountain range… and you.
