As a team of wildlife rangers, your mission is to ensure the
well-being of different species in your wildlife reserve while
protecting them from potential threats. In The Peak Team, a cooperative
game by Scott Almes, 2-5 rangers work together to complete a variety of
challenging tasks.
The main board represents the wildlife
reserve, dominated by a towering mountain divided into distinct
regions. Using a "reverse-drafting" mechanic, where each player assigns
their cards to others, rangers will acquire the tools they need to
explore the mountain via different paths and transportation systems.
By
reaching various locations and observing wildlife, players will
complete their personal missions and earn bonuses. Each ranger has two
mission slots that fill up as soon as tasks are accomplished. Only by
completing all missions before running out of actions will the rangers
successfully fulfill their duty!
COOPERATIVE STRATEGY GAME: Work together as wildlife rangers to
protect endangered species and complete conservation missions across a
dynamic mountain reserve.
REVERSE DRAFTING MECHANIC: Use a unique reverse-drafting system,
where players assign cards to one another to acquire the tools needed
for exploration and teamwork.
DYNAMIC MOUNTAIN BOARD: Explore a towering mountain divided into
regions, using paths and transportation systems to reach observation

MISSION-BASED PROGRESSION: Each ranger must complete personal and

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: Designed for family game nights or
cooperative strategy fans, The Peak Team offers engaging gameplay with
plenty of replayability.
