This is a family board game with a «push your luck» mechanic, where players embark on adventures together on a flying ship. According to legend, Gulliver searched for the magical world of Celestia during his travels but never found it. However, you and your team have succeeded and now journey through mysterious cities in search of treasures. But in addition to rewards, players will face obstacles – pirates, storms, and not-so-friendly birds. Can you become a true captain and claim the reward for your bravery?

How to play «Celestia»?

A game of «Celestia» consists of several journeys on an airship from one city to another. The journey ends in the City of Lights – Meiji. Players take turns acting as the captain of the ship. The captain is responsible for ensuring the ship reaches the next city and overcomes all threats encountered during the journey. Passengers, in turn, decide whether to continue the journey or stay in a city to claim one of its treasures.

Game Flow

Each journey consists of several stages:

1. The captain rolls dice to determine the threats. The number of dice to roll is indicated on the next city token.
2. Each passenger decides whether to stay on board or disembark. If a passenger disembarks, they receive a treasure card but no longer participates in the journey. Players who remain on board fly to the next city, provided they and the captain overcome the threat. The farther the cities, the more valuable the treasures.
3. The captain faces the threats. They play equipment cards that match the color of the dice faces. Passengers who remain on board can optionally play their enhancement cards.
4. The captain moves the airship. If the threats are overcome, the ship moves to the next city. If the captain fails, the ship crashes, ending the journey, and a new one begins.
5. The captain passes control to the next player.

New Journey and Game End

Each new journey during the game begins with the following steps:

• Place the ship on the first city token.
• Place all player tokens in the ship.
• Each player takes one equipment card.

If, before starting a new journey, a player has treasure cards with a total value of 50 or more, the game ends immediately. The player with the most points wins.

Simple rules, quick games, and beautiful components make «Celestia» an excellent board game for the whole family or a group of friends. Petushok Galu is confident that the spirit of adventure and excitement will leave no one at the table indifferent.

We also recommend checking out another family board game with a push-your-luck mechanic — «The Quacks of Quedlinburg». In this game, players aim to brew the best potion by drawing various ingredients from their bag. But the best potion requires the finest components, and they come at a cost. Be careful: adding too many special ingredients might cause your potion to explode!
