## Description
In Peaks, you and your friends embark on an exciting journey as ambitious mountaineers, starting by hiking famous hills around the world to hone your stamina and experience. The goal is simple, but the climb is challenging: gather the right equipment, find teammates, and ultimately conquer the world's tallest peaks! Each turn, you choose one of three crucial actions: rest to regain your breath and energy, prepare to acquire mountain passes and essential equipment, or climb a mountain to reap the rewards of your audacity. A super cool 'tag along' mechanism keeps everyone engaged in the game, even when it's not their turn, adding a collaborative touch to the competition. Get ready for a unique tactile experience with individual player boards featuring moving tiles and dials, a custom die, and flag miniatures that add a special charm to the game. In the end, the mountaineer with the most flags planted on the board, plus bonus cards, will be the grand winner. With straightforward setup, quick turns, and fun interactions, combined with a ruleset that unfolds naturally throughout the game, Peaks promises a satisfying and adrenaline-filled adventure.
