About this deal

If you have very few cards in your hand, or you don’t have much diversity in your card symbols and you’re Captain next? And in fact, it is this unnecessary chrome that elevates Celestia and propels players into the atmosphere it provides. It doesn’t overstay its welcome, and while it is more complex than other pure push-your-luck games, the semicooperative play and interesting hand management decisions make it worthwhile to expend the extra teaching effort. Celestia is a competitive bluffing game in which you compete to acquire loot while navigating perilous skies. If the captain does have the cards exactly matching the dice, they must play those cards and the round continues, with the captain passing to the next player.

Discard the Magic Spyglass to overcome all the challenges without the Captain having to discard any cards. Before the beginning of a new journey, if any player has reached 50 points, the game ends imme- diately. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. They mention that it's a really fun 20-minute game, the art is stunning and it' s able to be easily portable. That said, anyone looking for a substantial challenge or more than a superficial dash of strategy should look elsewhere.When the ship fails, play starts over from the first island with all aboard, and each player is dealt a new equipment card. If a player decides to disembark, they get a treasure from that land, and thus gain points equal to the land's number.

If the captain can’t overcome the challenge, though, everyone comes crashing down empty-handed and you’ll need to begin a new trip with all passengers on board. I stand by my opening statement that Celstia is a whimsical delight; it looks so beautiful on the table and is a really simple game to get your head around, yet at the same time it's such a great game, fun, adventurous and by far the best push your luck game I own.The treasure cards matching each island are shuffled and placed next to each island, and a hand of six equipment cards is dealt to each player. Yes, everyone is playing for themselves, but each player can only go so far on the few cards they hold.

This is what you have to do as the Captain if you’re failing and you’re not going to get Treasure you need to make sure as many other players go down with the ship alongside you. Your journey will not be safe, but you will attempt to be the richest adventurer by collecting the most precious treasures! Before the captain gets to play any cards, the rest of the crew have the option of staying on the ship, putting their faith in the captain's ability to fight off the avian nightmares, or jump ship and grab some of the treasure from the island they are currently on.Celestia’s gameplay is fast paced and full of surprises, while being easily taught within a single round of play. Celestia is a push/press your luck style game, where players are explorers, travelling to various lands, avoiding troubling events with Equipment, and trying to get treasures worth 50 points in total or more. It's made me see another side to my friends (they're all great liars) and has caused secret alliances to be formed. It means they don’t overshadow the main gameplay but are nice to pull out when the going gets tough, or you decide to mutiny and throw your captain overboard. The theme is inconsequential, although the art is beautiful and has drawn comments from various members of my family.

The treasures become more powerful the further the ship is along the path, so passengers try to stay on as long as possible. Those that disembark can pick up a treasure card, but the highest scoring loot is reserved for the furthest islands, so players have to engage in an uneasy alliance to get as far as possible. There’s some level here of playing the odds–you can see how many cards the captain is holding and judge whether the captain holds the exact combination required. There are some special power cards included in the deck that let you reroll dice, kick other players off the ship, or make it more difficult for the captain to succeed.In the game, players take on the role of explorers traveling through the clouds in an airship, encountering a variety of challenges and obstacles along the way. Since it can accommodate up to eight, I usually only play it with large groups and younger players like my nieces and nephews. The completely superfluous (but utterly exciting) airship steals the show here–with its functional, but purely decorative, propeller and well-designed captain’s chair–but it is far from the only thing worthy of comment. Celestia is the semicooperative nature of the game, and a large part of the game hinges on who’s captain.
