Skyrise

Picture a city that does not stand on the ground, but floats high in the air. Full of art, science and beauty. In Skyrise you are one of the great thinkers the mayor has asked to help build this dream project. Everyone wants to put up the most beautiful towers, but only one can go down in history as the greatest master builder of all. At the heart of this game is a special bidding system that lets you claim spots on the board to build on. You earn favour on the different islands, make deals with mysterious patrons and work on your own unique Wonder. With a board that is different every time and a surprising setup, no two games play the same. The choices get harder as resources become scarcer and the stakes keep rising. Skyrise is a game for players who love deep thinking and enjoy staying at the table for a while. Expect about an hour and a half of tension, in which the city slowly grows and the winner is only known once the last points are counted. An evening to lose yourself in together.
