Bubble Archipelago: Flight Academy

In a solarpunk world powered by renewable bubble energy, islands float high above the clouds, shrouded in mist and full of wonder. You take on the role of a mentor at the Flight Academy, guiding a group of eager animal trainees—affectionately called "puffballs"—who were born without wings but dream of reaching their faraway dream destinations. Designed for 1–3 players, the game blends light strategy with cooperative play. Each day, players consult a floating island device embedded with electronic components, which—alongside a custom dice tower—reveals the day’s weather conditions and training recommendations. Gameplay centers around dice-driven mechanics that determine resource generation, trainee movement, and available actions. As mentors, players will engage in farming, fishing, and guiding the trainees through valley expeditions to collect vital resources. These efforts support the completion of daily training exercises, the buildup of flight energy, and the gradual growth of each trainee. Ultimately, your goal is to help them break through the clouds and arrive at the destinations they’ve long dreamed of—a heartfelt journey shaped by care, cooperation, and gentle adventure. —description from the publisher
