Reviewers, in their own words

  • “Simple mechanics coupled with complex strategy bring a rewarding experience to playing the game but with just enough RNG to give less experienced players options to claim victory.”
    Jason and AdamTable Top Vibes
  • “You ever play a game that you feel like flew under the radar but it’s really really good? … From a unique theme to gorgeous art to variable play styles to tough choices, I really fell in love with this after my first play.”
    Joel@thedicedonion
  • “This is a perfect centerpiece for a game night especially with a nice hot drink and the fire place going on these upcoming winter nights.”
    BertBert’s Tabletop Games
  • “Every turn feels important and there are a lot of options to choose from. We really enjoyed planning our turns in advance to get the best turn possible every time.”

Build the best resort on the mountain

Alpenglow is an engine-building game where you compete to build the best ski area. Lay tiles, play cards and deliver skiers to grow your empire and master the mountain. Multiple paths to victory and a setup that changes every game keep it fresh, and every turn is packed with action. Expect it to become a game-night favorite.

4 player quick start guides are included in every copy.

Learn it by playing it

The Quick Start guides for 2–4 players walk you through your first two turns, so you learn the rhythm of the game before you ever open the rulebook. Player aid cards and a handy reference sheet answer questions as they come up.

When you want the details, the rulebook is easy to read and full of illustrations and examples to help you build a winning ski area.

The expansion is already in the box

The Aprés Ski Expansion comes in every box. It randomizes the setup so no two games play the same, adds new village square locations, opens up the backcountry with big one-time bonuses and brings new resort upgrades to help you pull ahead.
