Hory – Tactical Board Game

Product detailed description

Grab your ice axes, check your oxygen tanks, and set off on the expedition of a lifetime! Peaks (published in Czechia as Hory) is a tactical engine-building board game where players step into the boots of brave mountaineers scaling iconic peaks across the globe. With every successful ascent, your stamina and expertise grow, allowing you to acquire better gear and hire experienced mountain guides.

The game seamlessly blends resource management with an innovative semi-cooperative mechanic. While you race to plant all your flags on the board first, opponents can join your expeditions. Climbing together saves valuable energy, but it also grants shared rewards. Be careful not to push too hard without enough experience, or you will have to roll the danger die and risk losing your spoils!

The game also features the Rakoncaj Solo Mode, named after legendary Czech mountaineer Josef Rakoncaj, offering a challenging solo experience or an automated opponent for 2-player games.
