About the game

What you do in a play session

In *Derelict Dirigible*, you're a gnome tired of staying on the ground while other races rule their domains. Your goal? Build an airship from scrap and go on epic adventures! This is a solo roll-and-write game where you'll roll dice to gather resources and use them to assemble parts of your airship on a grid. Each part has different requirements and needs to be connected to function. You'll also need to manage fuel and ensure your airship has the speed and lift capacity to complete missions. When time runs out, it's time to calculate your score and see if you've become the master of the skies! Perfect for those who enjoy quick, strategic, and personality-filled games.
