Grow Sky

About this board game

Grow Sky is a 2024 engine-building board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting around 90 minutes. Players compete to become the best sky ship master by flying and developing their own sky ships.

Each round, players roll and draft dice to determine their ship’s actions. Dice may let you fly to gain resources and medals, develop your ship for more effective future actions, or go on standby to gain resources.

Grow Sky gives many of these actions their own distinctive mechanisms. Developing the engine room uses polyomino-filling, while each player’s flight track features an upgradable rondel. Together, these systems support the game’s central theme of building an increasingly capable sky ship.

• Roll and draft dice to shape your ship’s actions each round.
• Develop the engine room through a polyomino-filling system.
• Upgrade your flight track’s rondel for more effective future actions.
• Compete for medals and missions throughout the game.

Players also compete to complete two types of missions. Route missions reward only the first player to complete them, while goal missions rank players according to the order in which they are completed. Missions can ask for specific resources or particular configurations of parts in the engine room.

The game moves toward its conclusion when a player gains 15 or more medals or fills their engine room. The final round then takes place, and the player with the most medals wins. With dice drafting, resource management, ship development, and mission races, Grow Sky centers every decision on improving your sky ship and pushing ahead of the competition.
