HOW TO PLAYTRANQUILITY: THE ASCENT🏔️🧘‍♀️


  1. Climb the mountain together with other players

    InTranquility: The Ascent, 1 to 5 players work together tocomplete a pyramid of numbered cards, starting from the base to the top of the mountain.

    The game is cooperative and silent: you can't speak freely, but each card placed communicates intentions and strategy.

    The goal isreach the topcompleting the entire structure before anyone runs out of moves.

  2. Build the pyramid step by step

    The base is 9 cards wide, the next row 8, then 7, and so on to the top with only one card: themountain top.

    Each card has anumber from 1 to 12and atype of soil(three in total).

    When you play a card, it must respect two fundamental rules:


    No adjacent identical landhorizontally.


    Discard cards equal to the numerical differencebetween the card you play and the ones next to it (e.g. playing a 7 next to a 4 → you discard 3 cards).

    Alternatively, you candiscard two cardsto skip your turn if you can't or don't want to play.



  3. Respect the height and support rules

    Each line can containonly numbers equal to or greater than the row number(e.g. in row 3 you can only play cards 3–12).

    Additionally, a card can be playedonly if supportedfrom two cards in the bottom row, like in a real pyramid.

    A new line can only start when at leasttwo cardshave already been placed under it.

  4. Communicate without words and coordinate shifts

    The heart of the game is thesilent cooperation: You can't tell what cards you have, but you have to guess the intentions of others by watching their moves.

    The group wins if they complete the mountain and play theCima paperat the top.

    If a player can neither play nor discard legally, the team instantly loses.

  5. Add variety with mini-expansions

    Tranquility: The Ascentincludesthree additional modules, which you can introduce individually or together to increase the difficulty and depth:


    🌿The Green Path: creates a continuous path from bottom to top.


    📸The Panorama: Complete specific number sequences to “photograph” for extra points.


    🐐The Mountain Goats: guide the goats to the top, moving them as the mountain grows.


🏔️A Zen and reflective cooperative where every card is a step towards the summit—and every silence is a form of understanding.

🧘‍♂️ Tranquility: The Ascent – La scalata verso la pace

Un viaggio cooperativo tra numeri, silenzi e montagne di calma.

La montagna non si conquista con la forza, ma con l’armonia.
In Tranquility: The Ascent, i giocatori collaborano per costruire un paesaggio di carte che si eleva verso la vetta, un passo – o meglio, una carta – alla volta. Ogni numero piazzato è una scelta meditata, ogni silenzio condiviso è parte della strategia. Le regole sono semplici, ma l’equilibrio è fragile: terreni incompatibili, differenze da scartare, percorsi che si chiudono come neve sull’alba. Solo se il gruppo troverà la sintonia perfetta potrà completare la piramide della serenità, posando la carta della vetta e guardando dall’alto il frutto di una cooperazione silenziosa.

“Non serve correre per raggiungere la cima: basta respirare insieme.”

🪶 Un cooperativo minimalista dove ogni carta pesa come un passo in montagna

Tranquility: The Ascent è un gioco da tavolo cooperativo e astratto per 1–5 giocatori, ideato da James Emmerson e pubblicato da Lucky Duck Games. Successore del celebre Tranquility, trasforma la costruzione di una griglia numerica in una scalata collettiva verso la vetta della calma. Ogni carta posata è un passo meditato: rispettare i vincoli di terreno e di differenza numerica richiede equilibrio, precisione e fiducia. Il silenzio imposto dalle regole è la vera sfida: la comunicazione è ridotta a gesti, ritmi e intuizioni reciproche. Con tre moduli aggiuntivi — The Green Path, The Panorama e The Mountain Goats — il gioco si arricchisce di nuovi orizzonti tattici senza perdere la sua essenza contemplativa.

🌄 Minimalismo zen

Poche regole, ma ogni carta conta: la calma è la vera strategia.

🤫 Silenzio strategico

La cooperazione passa dallo sguardo, non dalle parole.

🧩 Puzzle numerico

Logica e calma si intrecciano tra vincoli e terreni variabili.

🐐 Tre moduli extra

Percorsi verdi, panorami e capre da guidare: varietà e armonia.

🧘 Perfetto in solitario

Gioca da solo o in gruppo: la pace si trova in ogni formato.

🌌 Atmosfera rilassante

Design poetico che trasforma la matematica in paesaggio.

Il cuore di Tranquility: The Ascent è la costruzione piramidale condivisa, dove ogni carta posata richiede di scartare carte pari alla distanza numerica da quella adiacente. È una danza di numeri e pazienza, dove la gestione delle risorse è sottile e il silenzio diventa linguaggio. Non si può parlare, e la vittoria nasce dall’intesa non detta: una sinfonia cooperativa che trasforma la logica in poesia.

“La vetta non si raggiunge da soli, ma respirando allo stesso ritmo.”
