About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready to get your hands dirty and build the coolest city? In Skyliners, we team up to erect buildings and skyscrapers on a shared plot. But hey, it's not just about building for the sake of it! Each of us has secret bets about which buildings will appear in the five rows of buildings on our side of the board. The trick is to try and guess correctly and make your bets come true, by cleverly observing what's happening in the construction. It's a fast-paced game, lasting about 30 to 40 minutes, perfect for chilling out or for those just starting in the hobby. The complexity is quite manageable, ideal for playing with family or friends who aren't hardcore board gamers. We create a cool urban scene, and the fun lies in trying to predict the city's future and seeing if luck (and strategy!) is on your side. With 2 to 4 players, the game flows well, and the interaction is more indirect, focused on achieving your goals without overly hindering others. If you enjoy a light game with a touch of prediction and a construction theme, Skyliners might be the right pick for your table!
