About Merchants of Sky Islands

空島の商人 (Sorashima no Shonin) (Merchants of Sky Islands) is a tile placement game from Japan. The Sky Islands float on the sea-filled planet Aquarius. The trade between the Sky Islands flourished by operating vehicles that used flying stones that generated anti-gravitational energy. This game is a story of the great trading era on the Sky Islands. When tiles are placed, resources can be obtained through trade with neighbouring islands. Using the resources you gain, you can build trading posts, harbours, and towers to strengthen your power. Players compete for the majority of empty islands, and the player who earns the most victory points wins. 海一面の惑星「アクエリアス」に浮かぶ空島。 反重力エネルギーを生み出す飛行石を使った乗り物を操り、空島と空島の交易は栄えた。 このゲームはそんな空島における大交易時代のお話。 タイルを配置すると、隣接する島との交易により資源を得ることができます。 得た資源を使って、商館を建てたり、港を建てたり、塔を建てたりして勢力を強めていきます。 空島のマジョリティを競い、最も多くの勝利点を稼いだプレイヤーが勝ちとなります。 --description by publisher
