{"product_id":"distant-skies","title":"Distant Skies","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaving been blown away by \u003cem\u003eSleeping Gods\u003c\/em\u003e back in 2023, I couldn't resist this sort-of sequel. Like the first game, it's a co-operative story-telling game (I need no further incentive), powered by a paragraph book (think choose-your-own-adventure) and a vast number of cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set-up is that the players are on board an aircraft that flies through a portal in 1937 to arrive in a strange new world. In hope of returning home, they quest across this world (or pages of the atlas), encountering bizarre (and mundane) creatures, making deals, acquiring resources (mmm, food!) and discovering that all is not what it seems…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDistant Skies\u003c\/em\u003e has a different, card-based combat system from \u003cem\u003eSleeping Gods\u003c\/em\u003e (not all the natives are friendly… okay, make that not many of the natives are friendly!). This is almost a game in itself. And, like a role-playing game, it's designed to be played in 2-3 hour sessions as players work their way through a campaign. Nephew Tom and I had great fun playing through a campaign to a successful conclusion. Yay!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also stock the original game, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sleeping-gods\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSleeping Gods\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and the smaller, stand-alone game, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/primeval-peril-sleeping-gods\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrimeval Peril\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, for 1-2 players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor 1-4 players, aged 13+, playing time 1-10 hours (to complete a whole campaign)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDistant Skies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas designed by Ryan Laukat and is published by Red Raven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eDistant Skies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eat\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/358320\/sleeping-gods-distant-skies\" title=\"More about Distant Skies at Boardgamegeek (in a new window)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBoardGameGeek\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games from Pevans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58452153172293,"sku":"860","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/0116\/7685\/files\/Distant-Skies-cover.jpg?v=1783095650","url":"https:\/\/games.pevans.co.uk\/products\/distant-skies","provider":"Games from Pevans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
