Read the full game description
Peaks is a competitive mountain-climbing adventure in which every player assembles an expedition and tackles a shared ascent. Climbers gather equipment, commit dice, negotiate over routes and support, and collect sets that improve their chances as the mountain grows more dangerous. Follow actions and variable setup keep everyone involved, while area influence and tactical timing reward teams that establish themselves in the right places before attempting the summit.
