SKY EMPIRE

Flow of the game:

In the skies over planet Dopheus, players will take on the role of a Doppler, a salamander-like creature with one mind and two bodies, in a quest to find the crystals and reactivate the monolith defense to thwart the invasion from the evil sentinels! To win the game, you must collect the four crystals, activate a monolith, and ascend to the position of the Emperor of Dopheus! The game takes place over several game rounds, where players place their Dopplers either in the Council to take Council actions, or on the board for character unique abilites. Or both! You have two bodies! To take actions on the map you activate the tiles with an initiative token, and that allows you to move to this tile, explore, produce, construct and/or battle opponents!

How to play Sky Empire

There are 4 different crystals in the game:

The blue crystal, or the Crystal of Posession

is obtained by having 12 buildings on the board, you can be lucky to use a Leviathan airship and find it by drilling on Tropic Islands, or you can build the epic Ancient Sky Tower!

The yellow crystal, or the Crystal of Opportunity

is more elusive. There is one in the middle of the map from the start, so the first to occupy the central area gets the yellow crystal – otherwise, you have to obtain it from salvage development when you explore; there are also missions for it in the action cards. You may also be lucky to get it from drilling with a Leviathan airship on Volcano Islands.

The red crystal, or the Crystal of Power

is the crystal of battles! You get it by winning a combat against a player or NPC flying in a Behemoth or higher-class airship. Alternatively, you need to destroy an opponent’s home base or Sky Tower, or find it by drilling with a Leviathan airship on Rock Islands.

The green crystal, or the Crystal of Honor

is unique to each character in the game. You can only obtain it by fulfilling your character’s goals – for example, having 5 airships on the board or purging 10 exploration tokens to get it!
