What to Expect
You lead a faction in the hollow world of Thraen and compete to build a bridge to the skyward Beeledhan’s Eye. Play focuses on card activation, gathering building materials, increasing military strength, and courting divine favor. Each faction has a unique ability and you aim to have the most power when the bridge is completed. The publisher description emphasizes the setting along the inner walls of a colossal sphere.
Who Is This Game For?
Skybridge is aimed at experienced players (age 12+) who enjoy thematic fantasy strategy. With a 90-minute duration it is an extended game suited to players familiar with drafting and card-driven engines rather than casual family play.
How It Works
The core interaction is Open Drafting paired with card activation: players draft cards openly, trigger their effects, and collect materials and influence. Individual faction abilities shape different approaches. The combination of drafting choices and activations drives your engine-building and contest for power until the bridge-building phase ends and scoring occurs.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Michael Rieneck and Franz Vohwinkel, Skybridge stands out for marrying a rich hollow-world fantasy setting with tactical drafting and card activation. Thematically, the shared but competitive goal of building a Skybridge to Beeledhan’s Eye frames player decisions. Published in 2025 by Deep Print Games, Pegasus Spiele and White Goblin Games.
