Players will visit strange places, acquire and sell goods, and face an unpredictable set of encounters as they travel from the Trader's Village to either High Frost, the seat of power in the region, or Two Twins City, the center of commerce! In Almanac: The Crystal Peaks, adventure and riches are just a turn of the page away! Almanac: The Crystal Peaks is the second entry in the Almanac series of games from acclaimed designer Scott Almes. Each round of Almanac is played on a different page in the gamebook. Each page represents a unique location/board with a special twist on worker placement. When combined an innovative bidding mechanism for turn order and a vast array of fantasy encounters, every game of Almanac: The Crystal Peaks is a new experience!

You can pry them out of my cold dead hands. 4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc. 4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience. 3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad. 3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep. 2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again 1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend 1.0 - A game that is just bad.
