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!

Player Board Design + Slight Delay

2024-12-31 01:59:48

Hope everyone has had a splendid holiday break and are ready for the New Year! We have a few updates to share as we head into 2025. Let's get to it!

Player Board Design

So, we were finally able to craft a player board we are pleased with. Take a look...



  1. I believe we shared in a video the need to remove the cross bar where the Companions will go. Due to how thin the piece was and the potential for glue to escape during assembly, we wanted to be safe just in case. 

  2. The extra squares are where players will place cubes designating number of uses. Additionally, the slots where Companions go are a little wider than the cards for those who sleeve their cards.

  3.  Both the Stamina & Energy Tracks are now completely on the player board, removing the need for a tracker to be on the table. Also, we didn't want to remove numbers to add the bonuses on the Stamina Track (left most), but there just wasn't enough room for both. However, since the tracks are parallel, the numbers where bonuses are printed are still distinguishable.

PEAKS Game Board Review

About three days prior to Christmas (Dec. 25), our manufacturer informed us the Chinese government must review and sign-off on any exported products that contain world maps. Who knew?

Well, not even our manufacturer knew so we are very grateful this was caught early on. What does this mean? Due to concerns regarding borders and country lines, the box, game board, and rulebook must undergo inspection. Because the PEAKS map is only continents and the white lines follow fault lines and serve as a guide for players to place their flags, we don't expect any issues.

Mass Production Delay

The review should be complete no later than January 15th. Unfortunately, this means all components with maps are on hold until this point. As the Chinese New Year begins the week after, there will be no progress until middle of February.

We've bene told mass production will be complete end of March. This isn't ideal, but we did build in a buffer for such things. As you can see from the timeline in the campaign, we are still on target.



We are working diligently to make sure we keep things moving. Please reach out with any questions you may have. We have big plans for 2025 and we sure hope you'll join us for the ride!


Later Days!
