The wonkiness is found here also; In short it goes like the Capt cajoling saying, "No problem, piece of cake. And you may want it to fail if you have jumped off too early and your opponents are headed to islands filled with high value treasures.

I LOOOOOVE Incan Gold/Diamant but have grown a little worn out of playing IG so much and was hoping this could replace it. They mention it has stunning artwork, great production quality, and a fun little push-your-luck game.When the ship fails, play starts over from the first island with all aboard, and each player is dealt a new equipment card. Incan Gold has a problem where you’re racing so fast to the next card draw that it becomes almost mechanical. Whereas a captain is required to play the matching equipment if he or she can meet the challenge, the captain is not required to play wilds.

Enemies are watched closely, their own face down hoard of loot cards a looming threat to your own victory, while alliances are formed, each party using the other to push forward towards higher value booty, all the while patiently waiting for the opportune time to forcefully leave the other behind, once their threat overshadows their use.The best word I can find to describe Celestia is ‘delightful’; maybe even 'whimsical', how about delightfully whimsical. Players have to depend on each other to propel the airship farther, especially if they want to reach the lucrative later islands. We could have struggled along with the French rules, but it was much better for us to get the English language rules.

He must then play the appropriate cards — a compass, a lightning arrester, a foghorn, or even cannons — to continue on the journey and reach the next city. Each player chooses an "Adven- turer" tile (he keeps it in front of him) and places the "Adventurer" pawn of the same color in the aircraft.

The clouds (blue) are solved by a compass card; the lightening (yellow) is solved by a lightning arrester card; the birds (red) are revealed by the horn cards; and the pirates (black) are solved by the cannon card. Alternate Route -- A player onboard can allow the captain to reroll any or all dice, after all players' decision or the captain's announcement. Yet the game remains friendly: even forcing somebody off the ship still means they still get a treasure card and can avoid crashing.
