One Sentence

Elevation is a trick-taking game where climbers compete over 3 days to scale the largest elevation in 4 mountain ranges, reaching famous peaks around the world.

Why it’s Unique

Your hand changes

After each trick, everyone draws another card. You could be out of a suit one moment and have its top card the next.

Scoring is dynamic

Your points are the difference between your highest and lowest card of every suit – winning the top card does nothing without a low card to back it up.

Rules keep shifting

Draw from 30+ different rules each day, so gameplay stays fresh and unique without overcomplicating things.
