14ers - How to Play & Preview

About 14ers, from BoardGameGeek:

Colorado is a state full of adventure, but its greatest challenges are the mighty mountains towering above. The highest of these peaks reach over 14,000 feet elevation, and are called "14ers." Can you conquer these climbs and assemble the best collection of peaks bagged and stories earned across one summer? 14ers is a quick tableau-building card game where you will take turns adding one "Climb card," each representing a different 14er, to your Hiker by tucking the Climb card under one of the four sides of your Hiker card to reveal a specific ability they can now use for the rest of the game. These abilities can either help you gain more difficult and powerful Climb cards or score points at the end of the game. You may also have to deal with weather along the way, or have the chance to hire Guides to help you climb difficult routes! After 9 rounds, count up your score based on which 14ers you have climbed and what abilities from them you chose; the player with the highest score is the winner! We are excited to feature original artwork from Hinterland Outdoors based in Colorado. All art is made without any use of AI and is licensed from the original creator. -description from the designer
