About this board game

oddball Äeronauts is a two-player card game of fantasy airship dogfights, designed for a 20-minute head-to-head duel played entirely in your hands, with no surface required.

Take command of either the Pirate or Pendragon faction, then bring officers, crew, and bots into a sky-bound clash. Each player takes one faction, adds the Event cards, shuffles, and begins the battle.

Before playing, factions can be customized with alternative Officer, Support, and Crew cards. This gives each side room to shape its force before the duel starts, while keeping the action focused on a compact card-based confrontation.

Each round, players declare and compare Skills, applying any available bonuses before taking the consequences. Cards also feature Special Actions that can change the course of a round in several ways.

  • Rearrange cards during the action.
  • Cause additional damage.
  • Recover cards.
  • Gain useful bonuses.

With its hand-held format and light strategy, oddball Äeronauts delivers a quick contest of timing, card effects, and tactical choices. Keep your active cards in play while disrupting your opponent’s force, and you can claim victory when the game ends.

The player with active cards remaining at the end wins. Whether you prefer the Pirates or the Pendragons, the game offers a compact way to stage an oddball fantasy duel wherever you are.
