INTRODUCTION Board game for 2-4+ players. Players control fanciful Victorian Airships used to complete various Missions around the Globe. BACKGROUND The year is 1850 and Airships rule the Skies! VICTORY The first player to accumulate 20 Victory Points (VP) is the winner. SETUP Each player controls an Airship. Each player starts with 5 Crew cards and 5 Attachment cards randomly drawn. These are placed face up in front of the player. Crew are the exceptional people aboard the Airship. Attachments include Weapons, Tools, Rooms, and Equipment built into the Airship. Players should name their Airship and its Captain. Roll high on 1D100 to determine turn Order. Each player places a pawn representing their Airship onto an empty location on the Map. AIRSHIPS An Airship can have a max of 10 Crew. An Airship can have a max of 15 Attachments. You may discard old/unwanted Crew/Attachments to make room for new ones.

Each turn has 5 Phases: Mission Phase Travel Phase Adventure Phase Reputation Phase Spoilage Phase MISSION PHASE Skip this Phase every other turn. Draw the top Mission card from the mission Deck and Place it face-up on the table. Every Mission card has a Location where any Airship in that location can attempt it. TRAVEL PHASE Roll 1D100 (The Travel Roll): 1D100 Result: 01-25 Do not Move (Storm, Mechanical Problems, Resupply...) 26-75 You may move your Airship Pawn to an adjacent Location 76+ You may move your Airship Pawn 1 or 2 spaces Add your total speed trait bonus to your roll. ADVENTURE PHASE If there is an Mission card in the Location your Airship is in, you may attempt it.
