Imagine a realm where adorable and clever animals live in harmony, crafting mechanical islands with an array of whirring gears, spinning propellers, and gleaming steel. This is the world of Propeller Islands, a board game where players become island architects, harnessing the power of energy crystals to build marvels of wonder and ingenuity.

Each turn, you take dice from a shrinking pool and use them to gain new structures, produce resources, or populate your buildings. The game features a wide variety of buildings, many of which can be upgraded, allowing for countless combinations of island layouts and strategic possibilities. As you build your islands, they can unlock unique and powerful new abilities. You must carefully manage their resources, balance risk and reward, and outwit your opponents to emerge victorious.

The game will end after a round when one of the following conditions occurs:

  • the supply of building tiles is exhausted
  • one player completed their seventh blueprint
  • one player transferred all their workers onto their island.

At this point you flip over the Forge to reveal the victory point track. Players receive points for their fame, leftover resources, island tiles and completed blue prints. The player with the most points wins.
