About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an aerial adventure in 'Sky Heist', a card game that plunges you into the steampunk world for a daring airship bank robbery! You and your gang of not-so-trustworthy companions will need plenty of cunning and a good dose of luck to break into the vault and grab as much cash as possible before the sheriff shows up. But beware, because in this line of work, trust is a luxury. Each of you might want to keep it all for yourselves, especially when things heat up and an aerial shootout ensues!

The game is fast-paced and demands quick reactions. Each turn, you'll discard cards to form combinations and fill the loot pile. Use special cards to turn the tables in your favor, or save some cards in the 'revolver' area, which slightly limits you but can be crucial in the final duel. And it will come! When the sheriff enters the scene, the cards you've kept in your 'revolver' will be your salvation or downfall. Whoever has the most victory points at the end of several rounds wins the fame and fortune. It's pure adrenaline, with hand management, set collection, and that 'take that' element that makes everything more exciting.
