Things aren’t looking all that peaceful above the skies of Arkady, what with air pirates threatening to take down the Grand Compact. In “Aether Captains”, a game primarily involving dice & coming to Kickstarter mid-January 2016, one player will assume the rule of the HMS Dauntless & Dominion tasked with defending the Grand Compact from all the other players (who assume the rule of the air pirates). The pirates will be sending waves of ships against the Grand Compact, each with their own personal objectives which may pit them against one another, depending on the circumstances. It’s important to stress that I was sent an unfinished prototype…the dice, for example, were not included and paper substitutes were provided. As such, I primarily used art provided by the developer/publisher so as to better represent the game. Also, prototypes are generally not reflective of the final product, making the rules you see below subject to change.
