Twilight Peaks

Twilight Peaks is a 2–4 player trick-taking card game where you play as an oracle, racing to be the first to build spires and collect stardust falling from a fissure in the sky. In Twilight Peaks, both the players who play the highest and lowest cards in a trick get to collect cards from it. Players use collected cards to build spires by stacking them in descending order within the same suit. A new card must always be smaller than the top card of its respective spire. If a player is forced to place a card that does not follow the descending order, the entire spire collapses and is discarded. Managing spire construction carefully is crucial for maximizing points and avoiding costly collapses. At the end of each round, players earn victory points by having the highest total score in each suit. The first player to reach the required victory points wins! —description from the designer
