This summer, Calliope Games will release Dicey Peaks, a push-your-luck style dice game from Scott Almes, set for late June or early July.

In Dicey Peaks, players compete to climb the highest mountain in the world, while avoiding various hazards along the way.  They must successfully manage their oxygen supply and avoid the yeti that call the mountain home while they struggle to reach the mountain peak.  Gameplay is based on dice, with players pushing their luck to advance up the mountain as quickly as they can.

Dicey Peaks is for 2 to 6 players, and plays in less than 40 minutes.  MSRP is $30.00.

Late last year, Calliope launched new versions of its hit dice game Roll For It! (see “‘Roll For It!’ Joins Target Exclusive Games”).

A different dice game created by Almes was released earlier this year by Talon Strikes Studios (see “‘House of Borgia’”).
