Players earn points by daring to stay in the basket of a hot air
balloon as it rises. Points increase as the balloon climbs from cloud to
cloud, but so does the risk of the balloon falling. Should you jump out
to save your points or trust that the pilot will take you safely
higher?
Everyone places their passenger token into the balloon's basket to
start the trip, and receives a hand of six balloon cards. Then, each
turn, a different "pilot" rolls an increasing number of specialized dice
to see if the balloon can stay aloft. The dice dictate how many of the
balloon cards are needed of each color. (There are also optionally
played Wild Cards to keep everyone guessing.) Each player decides
whether they think the pilot will have the cards to successfully take
the balloon up, or whether they should jump out and keep the points
earned so far. If they stay, they run the risk of getting no points if
the pilot fails. If the balloon does fall, it is placed back on the
lowest cloud. Everyone hops aboard and draws one new card, and the next
trip begins. When a player earns 50 points the game is over.
