How to play the mountain height ranking game
Peaks from every continent are on these cards, with the country or region printed under each name, and you rank them by elevation in meters, lowest first. One mountain starts on the line with its height showing. As each card comes up, choose whether it goes above or below the peaks already placed and drop it in. A right answer reveals the elevation; a wrong one still puts the peak where it belongs and takes one of your three lives.
Modest hiking summits sit alongside alpine giants, lone volcanoes and the highest ranges on the planet, so the spread is enormous. The very top of the line is bunched tightly, with only small differences between giants. Fame tells you little about height: some of the best-known mountains are fairly low, while some of the tallest are names few people know. The region under each name is often your best clue.
