About the game

What you do in a play session

In Airship City, you're an airship engineer for humanity's new skybound civilization. Your job? Build fantastic vessels to sustain this floating metropolis. But it's not just assembling parts—you'll manage resources, hire crews, even piggyback on rivals when needed. The game blends spatial strategy with set collection and classic worker placement competition. Want bonus points? Donate ships or construct public works. All to cement your legacy as the fleet's top engineer. Expect 75-120 minutes of weighty decisions (3.1/5 complexity), perfect for 3-4 players who love aeronautical challenges.
