About this board game
Aerion is a solo or cooperative board game for 1–2 players, with games lasting about 15 minutes. You are an air-shipwright, an inventor of flying machines that carry the dreams across the skies of the Oniverse.
Your challenge is to build a new fleet—the most beautiful ever seen. To do so, you must roll the dice to acquire the components required for your airships, while making careful choices about how to use the resources available to you.
Building your fleet involves finding the best blueprints, acquiring the finest construction materials, and recruiting the best crew. Each part brings you closer to completing your airships, but success depends on managing your options throughout the game.
- Roll dice to acquire the components needed for your fleet.
- Discard cards to adjust your die rolls when you need more control.
- Balance those adjustments carefully so you do not exhaust your resources.
The dice provide the means to gather what you need, while card discards offer a way to influence the results. Using that flexibility comes with a cost, creating a constant tension between improving a roll and preserving the resources needed to continue building.
Aerion supports both solo play and cooperative play for two, inviting you to take on the fleet-building challenge alone or together. The game also includes six expansion modules, adding new options and challenges to the core experience.
Can you discover the right blueprints, secure the finest materials, recruit an exceptional crew, and build the best fleet in the skies of the Oniverse?
