About this board game
Propeller Islands is a board game for 2–4 players with an 80-minute playing time, set in a realm of adorable animals and ingenious mechanical islands.
As an island architect, you harness the power of energy crystals to build a marvel of whirring gears, spinning propellers, and gleaming steel. Each turn, take dice from a shrinking pool and use them to gain new structures, produce resources, or populate your buildings.
The game offers a wide variety of buildings, many of which can be upgraded. These choices create countless combinations of island layouts and strategic possibilities, while building your island can unlock unique and powerful new abilities.
Success depends on carefully managing your resources, balancing risk and reward, and outwitting your opponents. The game ends after a round when one of several conditions is met:
- The supply of building tiles is exhausted.
- One player completes their seventh blueprint.
- One player transfers all their workers onto their island.
At the end, flip over the Forge to reveal the victory point track. Players receive points for their fame, leftover resources, island tiles, and completed blueprints. The player with the most points wins, making every construction choice and remaining resource matter in Propeller Islands.
