Renowned publisher Stonemaier Games is set to make a splash with Braided Skies, designed by Dan Germain and brought to life through the illustrations of Andrew Bosley (Everdell, Tapestry). As the first entry in a series set within the enchanting Smoking Bones universe, this game invites 1 to 5 players aged 14 and up on 60-to-90-minute expeditions above the clouds.
In Braided Skies, you take on the role of an airship captain determined to build the most prestigious magical travel company in the Northlands. Steering your airborne vessel across an unlockable topographical map, you will shepherd tourists, harvest tapstones (the magical gems fueling the region), and discover wonders offering instant benefits. The ultimate goal: gather the most fame to earn the title of “Commodore of the Clouds”.
The game promises a strong and rewarding sense of progression by expanding your fleet and operations. Over the course of the match, you can build outposts, recruit crewmates, upgrade harvesters, and unlock powerful outfittings to optimize your recall turns. A clever mix of exploration, management, and engine-building, this title is shaping up to be a must-have for fans of thematic strategy.
