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!

PEAKS at Essen

2025-10-07 20:37:44

Hello Climbers,

Hope you are doing well! I wanted to mention we will be selling the remaining EU copies of PEAKS at Essen Spiel Oct. 23-26 at the Ape Games booth (4H-120). They will be listed for $5 more than what backers paid.

Currently we have signed localization deals with publishers in Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, and hopefully the Netherlands. We have other regions looking at it as well and we are hoping to localize PEAKS in as many countries as possible. 

In order to raise awareness, we would love if you could visit the BGG page and like (click the ❤️ icon) the PEAKS page. We already have 400 thanks to you all so we'd love to help the game gain more traction!

Unfortunately, Tangerine Games won't be attending Essen but hopefully next year!

More Mountains to Climb!

I also wanted to remind those who are in the US/CA, a friend of ours, Grazing Bear Games, is launching its own mountain-themed game on Kickstarter in two weeks - Tuesday, October 21. Click the image below to visit and follow the campaign. 


Those who back 14ers while the project is live, will receive a free mountain pass card of Capitol Peak located in Colorado, US. Below is what the card will look like. It will belong in the B Deck.


Happy climbing, everyone!
