Valley of Sky Lanterns

1–4 players · 90 min · 12+

A mountain town that had cultivated natural dyes for generations was transformed by the discovery of coal. Bridges and railways now span the valley, while sky lanterns—symbols of wishes and hope—once again rise into the night sky.

In Valley of Sky Lanterns, players take on the roles of local leaders. Over six rounds, they take turns selecting dice from the central board and placing them onto their own player boards. Using a versatile multi-use card system, players can launch sky lanterns, develop railway infrastructure, or fulfill a variety of orders. The player who contributes the most to sky lantern launches and railway construction wins the game.
