About the game
High atop Mount Olympus the Greek gods are celebrating Zeus' victory over the Titans. In honor of the dawn of the new era, Zeus has decided to invite representatives of the humans to join the celebration. Following tradition, they will race to the peak of Olympus where the two winners will have the honor of joining the gods as they celebrate their victory. Four ambitious contenders have risen to the challenge and will race for the two spots at the victory celebration. Who among them will overcome the obstacles, take advantage of the opportunities set forth before them and win the world's first Olympic game? The race is close and the progress is surprising. Proper planning and a bit of luck will help you celebrate among the victors... Summary of play: Players take turns placing progress cards or order cards below the contender cards, either progressing or regressing the contenders on their way to the top of Olympus. Each player tries to play his cards so that they will progress the contenders he predicted will win the race. The task is made difficult as the other players try to progress their contenders… The player who correctly selected the two winning contenders will have the most victory points and will win the game.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for OlymPeak is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists OlymPeak for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
OlymPeak has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
