## Description
Skylands takes you to a world of floating islands, where you’re tasked with building part of the kingdom. The game blends strategy and exploration as you gather resources like wood, stone, and magical crystals to create the most impressive area possible. Each turn, you choose from four actions: Explore, Harvest, Build, or Collect Energy. All players take the chosen action, but the player who selected it gets an extra bonus. You can’t repeat the same action two turns in a row, so plan carefully! As you place tiles and expand your territory, you’ll complete resources and build special buildings that earn points. The game ends when someone fills their board or when the tiles run out. Skylands offers multiple difficulty levels, a campaign mode, and small expansions for added complexity. It’s a game that balances simplicity and depth, perfect for fans of light strategy and fantastic themes.
