High Road

What is High Road?

High road is a 15-30 minute bluffing game for 2-4 people where games end with the first player out. 

Choose from 4 uniquely illustrated teams and use action cards to defend the territories of your kingdom. At the center of your kingdom is a capital territory that must be protected at all costs.

As soon as any player's capital is captured the game is over.

Replay value: Strategies change with every game depending on your opponents and how many there are.

Behind the Board

Hi! My name is Peter Sharples, and I am the designer and illustrator of High Road. I set out with the goal of creating an experience that is both visually stunning and highly engaging and after a year in development I can confidently say this game surpassed my greatest expectations.

The artwork of High Road draws inspiration from traditional aesthetics of tarot and the kingdoms players can choose carry underlying celestial themes of the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Earth. As for the animals, well who doesn’t love some crazy creatures! The entourage ranges from the everyday raccoon to the exotic axolotl. With 52 illustrations across 80 cards, bringing this game to life was a monster of a task but one which I thoroughly enjoyed.

But even after all that the greatest hurdle is getting this wonderful game into the hands of tabletop enjoyers everywhere. Help me bring this dream to life!
