In Celestia, a revamped version of Cloud 9, you board an aircraft with a team of adventurers to perform many trips through the cities of Celestia and recover their wonderful treasures. Your journey will not be safe, but you will attempt to be the richest adventurer by collecting the most precious treasures!
At the beginning of a journey, all players place their pawns within the aircraft; the players start the game with six cards in hand (or eight depending on the number of players). At the beginning of each round, one player is chosen to be the captain of the trip and he rolls 2-4 dice to discover the challenges that they will face: fog, lightning bolts, killer birds, or pirates. He must then play the appropriate cards — a compass, a lightning arrester, a foghorn, or even cannons — to continue on the journey and reach the next city. But before the captain plays the appropriate cards, each player must decide whether to stay within the aircraft:
During the journey, each adventurer can try to pull out of the game with fabulous objects (a jetpack, astronomy glasses, etc.) or by changing the trip (modifying the travel or abandoning an explorer in the city). As soon as a player earns treasure worth at least fifty points, the game ends and this player wins.
I have played this game three times, each time I was underwhelmed (if that’s a word). There s no control, nary a meaningful decision, and it fell flat each game.
Hard Pass.
A pretty straightforward push your luck game. While not my favorite it’s easy to teach and who doesn’t love a 3d flying ship?!!
This is a light push your luck game that will really shine with the right play group. The push your luck mechanic will bring out the gambler in even the most conservative players in your group. Very fun and light.
Quick, simple and easy push your luck game. The airship is just great and over the top but really sticks out as you kick your companions off the ship or jump off and watch it go down next turn. Definitely very satisfying game. Actions can get repetitive though but it is a short game, so it balances out.
A solid push-your-luck game. I give it an entire extra star though, hust for the airship piece itself. A defy you to not make fun little propeller noises as you move it up the track! It's impossible. It can't be done.
