Skyrise : Édition Essentielle (FR)

*French version

In Skyrise: Édition Essentielle, you compete as visionary architects shaping a breathtaking city suspended above the clouds. To earn eternal recognition, you must win spatial auctions, secure key districts, earn favor across floating islands, fulfill both open and secret objectives, court mysterious Patrons and construct your own signature Wonder. Every placement carries weight, transforming the skyline and influencing future bids.

Skyrise uses a brilliant spatial auction mechanism where the placement of your offers affects your available options as much as their value. As you build structures, you gather Faction, Patron, and Commission tokens that fuel strategic scoring opportunities. Public goals, secret objectives and Panorama cards reward clever positioning, long-term planning and adaptive tactics.

Skyrise is for you if you enjoy strategic bidding, majority control, modular boards and games where the tension escalates as the city grows. Inspired by the classic Metropolys, this edition refines the experience with polished rules and a vibrant floating-world aesthetic.

Fun fact: Skyrise was created by renowned designers Gavan Brown, Sébastien Pauchon and Adam Wyse. The luxurious Art Deco visuals by Andrew Bosley, with additional artwork from Damien Mammoliti and James Van Niekerk, elevate the immersive atmosphere.
