Tiki Mountain! is a board game released in 2007 for 2–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Cliff Bohm, Geoff Bottone, and Colleen Skadl.
In Tiki Mountain players are trying to be the first to sacrifice themselves to the Volcano God and save their island from destruction. Players will acquire Items and Tiki Totems to help them along the path from their village to the mouth of the volcano. The first player to throw themselves into the volcano (and be accepted as a sacrifice) will win the game. From the Publisher's site: Climb the mountain. Use the Magic. Save the Island. OH NO! HE IS ANGRY! The Volcano God is very angry and if he doesn't get a sacrifice soon, he's going to destroy the island! You and your fellow islanders must race to the top of Tiki Mountain. If you reach the top first and prove yourself worthy, you may be able to make the sacrifice that saves your island! There are many paths up Tiki Mountain. Will you choose the longer, safer paths, or the faster, more dangerous ones? Maybe you'll get lucky and find a Hidden Trail or a Rope Bridge that will speed you on your way. Along the way you'll find interesting items! Grass Sandals and Sturdy Boots can help you climb faster or cross over dangerous terrain. A Big Strong Vine can help withstand the mountain-shaking fury of the Volcano God's earthquakes. If you're really lucky, maybe you'll find the Mighty Tiki Mask or the Conch of the Shark God, magical items imbued with Mighty Power! Don't forget to look for Tiki Totems. You'll need them when you face the Volcano God! But you can also unleash their power to perform feats of Tiki Magic! Use your Tiki Mojo to steal items from other islanders, create obstacles (like Mudslides and Lava Flows), and more! Some Tiki Magic can even overcome the wrath of the Volcano God himself! Climb, Tiki, climb! The fate of the island is in your hands!

Tiki Mountain! supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Tiki Mountain! is 60 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 Tiki Mountain! for ages 10 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.
Tiki Mountain! has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
