About this expansion

Celestia: Grappling Hook Promo Card is a special card for 2–6 players, released in 2016. It gives a passenger who has left the airship for treasure a way to return aboard if the captain successfully continues the voyage.

The Grappling Hook can be played by a passenger who just left the ship. Its timing is specific: the card may be used when the captain announces that the journey will continue. This lets the passenger climb back onto the airship instead of remaining behind.

Returning to the airship comes with a clear cost. The passenger must leave behind the treasure claimed from the previous city, since they cannot hold on to the rope while carrying their heavy load. The card therefore links a possible return to the loss of the treasure already collected.

  • Can play it: A passenger who just left the ship
  • When to play it: When the captain announces that the journey will continue
  • Effect: Climb back aboard the airship while leaving the last claimed treasure behind

In Celestia: Grappling Hook Promo Card, the card’s effect is centered on a single dramatic moment: a passenger shoots a grappling hook toward the departing airship. The passenger gets back on board, but must let go of the treasure from the previous city to do so.
