Skyway Robbery

About this board game

Skyway Robbery is a card-driven heist game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Set in a steampunk world, it follows rival gangs competing for wealth and reputation aboard a giant airship traveling to far-flung locales.

Your gang must recruit skilled criminals as you prepare to take down fortified locations and steal the loot guarded within. Along the way, the airship offers smaller jobs that can provide additional opportunities as it moves across the globe.

The game’s central system revolves around secret planning. On each turn, every player selects three action cards and determines their order without revealing the plan. Once all players have chosen, the cards are revealed and resolved in turn, creating a contest of timing, judgment, and cunning.

• Recruit gang members by purchasing new cards from areas on the board.
• Buy equipment to expand the cards available to your gang.
• Attempt lucrative illegal activities as you pursue your objectives.
• Complete smaller jobs aboard the traveling airship.

Every decision contributes to your pursuit of Reputation points, but rival gangs are making their own plans at the same time. Choosing the right three actions—and arranging them in the right order—can determine whether a turn advances your criminal enterprise or gives another player the advantage.

With its high-adventure theme, hidden action ordering, and focus on recruitment, equipment, and heists, Skyway Robbery offers a distinctive strategic challenge for groups seeking a competitive steampunk game.
