CloudAge is a captivating strategy game from the award-winning designer Alexander Pfister, set in a dark and dystopian world for 1 to 4 players. Fifteen years ago, the secret society known as “Cloud” sabotaged countless oil production sites, causing a global environmental catastrophe that ravaged the planet. Now, you and your companions soar above the desolate landscape in airships, searching for a better life.

In CloudAge, you'll visit cities, deploy drones to gather resources, and engage in battles against the Cloud militia. The game features an innovative card-sleeving system that adds a new, immersive layer to resource gathering. Players must predict which cloud-covered terrain will yield the resources they need or offer opportunities for additional actions. These resources can then be used to upgrade your airships or attract new crew members, enhancing your capabilities as you navigate the treacherous world.

The game combines elements of engine-building, deck-building, and resource management, offering a rich and dynamic experience. The campaign system allows players to jump into the game quickly, with new elements introduced as you progress through the chapters, letting you influence and experience the unfolding story. For those looking for a traditional board game experience, CloudAge also offers stand-alone story spin-offs that capture all the depth and excitement of the game in single scenarios.

Whether you're exploring the narrative campaign or diving into a single session, CloudAge offers a unique and engaging adventure in a world struggling to survive.
