The higher the balloon goes, the bigger the points, but the bigger the risk of a fall. On each ascent, the pilot rolls the dice to find out which Balloon cards must be played to lift the balloon, while the other passengers bet on success... or failure.

All passengers climb into the basket, placed on the lowest cloud.\u003cbr\u003eA turn: the pilot rolls the dice for the cloud where the basket sits. They show the colors and number of Balloon cards needed to make the balloon rise (a blank side requires no card).\u003cbr\u003eEach passenger in turn decides to jump out, scoring the points of the current cloud, or to stay aboard.\u003cbr\u003eThe pilot plays cards, or a Wild card, to move up one cloud. If the pilot has the right cards, the balloon must rise. Otherwise it falls and passengers still aboard score nothing.\u003cbr\u003eEnd of the game: after a fall, the game ends if at least one player has 50 points or more. Most points wins; in a tie, the player with the most cards in hand wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the pilot jump out of the basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, unless the pilot is alone aboard.
