How to Play?
1. The captain determines the obstacles he will encounter on his way to the new city. To do this, he rolls as many dice as indicated on the next tile of the City. To continue the journey, the captain must play the required number of Equipment cards to overcome these obstacles.
2. One by one, the passengers (players on board) announce whether they want to continue the journey (i.e., stay on board the airship) or not.
3. If any of the passengers believes that the captain will not manage the task, he takes his colored Adventurer figure out of the ship and moves it to his token. The remaining players in the city take the top Treasure cards from the corresponding deck.
4. To pass the challenges indicated on the dice, the captain is required to use the Equipment cards he has: one card for one obstacle die. If the captain overcomes all the obstacles by playing the necessary Equipment cards, the ship moves to the next city. If the captain cannot handle all the dangers, he does not use any of the Equipment cards, and the ship crashes. None of the passengers receive Treasure cards, the ship returns to the first city, and a new journey begins.
5. After the round ends, the next player sitting to the left of the captain who is participating in the journey becomes the new captain.
6. Scoring is done before the beginning of each new journey. If one or more players have a total of 50 or more points, the game ends. The player with the most points is declared the winner.
There are 2 expansions for the base game that diversify the gameplay.
«Celestia: Helping Hand» includes hero cards with special properties, cards to help the captain, and several new special cards that you add during setup.
«Celestia: Mutiny on the Ship» adds a separate lifeboat for one player to the game, as well as several additional special cards. Both passengers and the ship's captain can transfer to the lifeboat. The player who embarks on a solo journey also rolls dice and plays cards to overcome obstacles. Even if the airship crashes, the lifeboat continues its flight until the pilot disembarks or crashes.
