About the game
Braided Skies is a board game from Stonemaier Games, designed by Dan Germain (2026). It plays 1–5 players in 60–90 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.6 out of 10 and call it medium (2.9 / 5 weight).
In Braided Skies, you take on the role of an airship captain in the Shallows, seeking to build the greatest magical travel company in the Northlands. Your mission involves exploring land and sky for new wonders, upgrading your travel company operations, and picking up tourists—all while maintaining a steady supply of tapstones, the magical gems that fuel the Northlands. Accumulate fame to become the Commodore of the Clouds!
This is the first in a series of games set in the Smoking Bones universe created and illustrated by Andrew Bosley (Everdell, Tapestry, etc). This is a standalone, single-session competitive game (not a campaign or narrative game).
- Set sail on airborne drop ships to shepherd tourists and harvest tapstones from locations on an unlockable topographical map.
- Experience a strong sense of progression by adding outposts, crewmates, and harvesters, plus outfittings for powerful recall turns.
- Discover magical Wonders for instant benefits, track advancements, and ongoing benefits.
If you enjoy Lost Ruins of Arnak, Dwellings of Eldervale, or Galactic Cruise, we’re excited for you to play Braided Skies!
