About the game
Kalypso is a board game from Inside Up Games, designed by Gilles Turbide (2026). It plays 1–4 players in 45–60 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.5 out of 10 and call it medium (2.3 / 5 weight).
The world may have flooded, but the future is yours to build.
Kalypso is a 1–4 player game where you’ll construct a floating settlement tile by tile. Create groups of the same material to build structures and trigger powerful bonus actions, breaking the “rules” of traditional tile-laying by leaving gaps to catch fish or even placing tiles outside the lines.
Tend gardens, weather the storm, and adapt to shifting conditions each round. With a flexible core ruleset, you can play Kalypso competitively, cooperatively, or solo. Whether you sail alone or build a settlement together, every game presents a uniquely rewarding experience.
