About this board game

CloudAge is a strategy game for 1–4 players that takes about 100 minutes to play, set in a dark and dystopian world shaped by environmental catastrophe.

Fifteen years ago, the secret society known as Cloud set fire to oil production sites and burned down vast forests, destabilizing the world. Now, you travel above the dried-out landscape in an airship, searching for a better life while visiting cities, deploying drones, and confronting Cloud militia.

A distinctive sleeving mechanism transforms resource gathering into a process of prediction. As you explore cloud-covered terrain, you try to determine where the resources you need are hidden or where additional actions may be available. The resources you collect can then help improve your airship and expand your crew.

  • Engine-building: Develop useful upgrades for your airship.
  • Deck-building: Shape your options as you progress through the game.
  • Resource management: Gather and spend resources to support your plans.
  • Story-driven progression: Experience a campaign that introduces new elements chapter by chapter.

CloudAge combines these systems with a campaign structure designed to help players begin quickly. As the chapters unfold, you experience the story and help guide its direction. For a different format, standalone story spin-offs are also available as individual scenarios.

With its airship travel, evolving capabilities, crew recruitment, and uncertain terrain searches, CloudAge offers a strategic journey through a world struggling to recover from disaster.
