Skytopia: In the Circle of Time

About this board game

Skytopia: In the Circle of Time is an engine-building euro-game for 2–4 players, with playtime of about 60 minutes. Each player leads a city in the sky, competing to construct beautiful soaring towers and earn enough prestige to claim the title of capital of the sky.

Every hundred years, one city receives this prestigious title. To pursue victory, city leaders awaken the forces of nature and call golems to assist with construction. The development of your city depends on carefully choosing when to act and how to use the buildings already in place.

Time is central to the game. An original gear-clock determines the cost of adding a new building to your city in the sky. You can complete construction quickly, but speed comes at the cost of paying more resources, creating an ongoing balance between urgency and efficiency.

• Building completion: Place a completed building on your pad.
• Worker placement: Send a golem to a construction site.
• Engine building: Activate previously built cards as you add new structures.

Every building on your island matters. Whenever you construct something, you may activate cards built earlier, gradually creating a personal engine that supports future development and strengthens your city’s strategy.

Success in Skytopia: In the Circle of Time requires more than simply building as much as possible. The value of your buildings, the influence of the guilds, and the timing of every action all shape your route to victory. Plan your city carefully, use your golems wisely, and build toward the sky.
