On your turn, perform one of three possible actions: Rest, Prepare, or Climb. Take one of your larger action cubes and place it in the furtherest left open spot on your player mat.

Rest: When you need to regain your energy for your next climb, chose the Rest action. Then, travel to any continent and either gain energy up to your stamina or gain [2] energy.

Prepare: If you are in need of more mountain passes or gear such as a tent or carabiner, choose the Prepare action.

Climb: If you believe you are ready to scale the heights, choose to Climb. Make sure you meet all the requirements, chose between two sets of rewards, and get your engine going! The goal is to plant those flags all over the globe!

Pay attention to what others are planning, as you'll be able to "tag along" on their climb and reap the benefits they didn't choose. There's no room for "down time" in PEAKS.

As the game progresses, you'll earn experience so you can conquer the more difficult climbs and earn even bigger rewards!

Things really start ramping up as you unlock upgrades that allow you to perform additional steps in each of the three actions. Remember those larger cubes mentioned earlier? 

Once you have three of them sitting above a particular action, you can remove all action cubes to gain the associated bonus: Gain [1] permanent stamina, upgrade an action die or place a flag on the board/move three experience spaces.

Along your expedition, you'll meet friendly faces. These Companions will assist during your climbs by lending gear, sharing experience, and boosting your energy. 

Play concludes when one player positions their final flag on the game map. All other players with flags still remaining get one more turn.

Whoever has the most flags across all continents, including end game bonus flags earned through area majority and private objective cards, takes the victory!

Special Gift - On The Road to $250K

2024-07-19 18:56:14

So, Wednesday I playfully teased a big announcement for today. PSA: I actually was late for a meeting I had with a distributor. ANYWAY... let's stop messing around. Check this out!

If you amazing backers can raise $200K by the end of the PEAKS campaign, we will GIVE (you read that correctly), every backer who pledges at the Aspiring Climber tier and above ($49 Standard Edition) will receive digital postcards of EVERY (yep, read that correctly, again) mountain in PEAKS (minus the promo pack)!

But wait, there's MORE. Tell them what else they could win, Brandon...

If we reach the $250K milestone by midnight Thursday, every Aspiring Climber pledge and above will receive digital posters of all 6 player board art files! 

This offer will NOT be available after the campaign or for purchase in the Pledge Manager. How's that for a send off into the weekend? Hope you are as excited as we are!

Solo Rules Add

For all you solo advocates out there, our PEAKS designer, Sam Gray, has added the Solo/AI rules to the rulebook. It can be found here. 

Two things to note: (1) This is purely a draft and not final in regard to layout and formatting, and (2) the Solo/AI rules also explain how the AI can be used in a two-player game but it is not required one bit. It's purely optional!

Okay, well hopefully you're all very excited because we can't sit still (although that may be the coffee)!


Later Days!

Bryan & Brandon (TG)


P.S. We are aware of the typo in the first announcement. We aren't changing it because, frankly, we're tired:)
