Nail those bids, and you’ll earn lucrative bonuses that can make or break your business. Will you rise above the rest and dominate this new frontier?

In Lunar Skyline, the future isn’t just in your hands—it’s in the cards!

How is Lunar Skyline Played?

In each game, you start by bidding the number of resources (tricks) you want to win to construct your building. Each card features two resource icons (suits), and when a lead card is played, you can follow with either icon, giving you the flexibility on how to win the resources you need. You can also win resources with expert ace pilots who can shuttle them to you reliably, or use your underground connections to smuggle in the resources for your architectural masterpiece. An added challenge is that you are motivated to outpace your competitors to complete your bids before they do. Nail those bids first, and you’ll get to pick from the lucrative bonuses that can launch you to victory. But if you go over the bid, you will be penalized for the wasted resources and it can sink your chances at eternal fame. 

In Lunar Skyline, the future of this metropolis is in your hands!
