To start your sector of the city, first gain cards through an escalating pile draft system. Then, use those cards to build a sky city tableau of connected cards, airships, and feathered critters. You will race your rivals to win over powerful benefactors as you build the best sector of Skyward Republic.
On your turn, will you pick a pile of cards that fits your strategy before others do, or flip and place one of your dealt cards in a pile to stay in expanding draft so as to pick a bigger or better pile later?
Players then build cards they can afford to build, each with interconnected scoring abilities, then attempt to claim powerful benefactors to gain victory points and special abilities. A player's 8th building triggers the end of the game, and the player with the highest score wins.
