It’s race day! Aircrews to your Zeppelins! In this fast-playing racing game for two intrepid Zeppelin pilots, the players race their airships by rolling dice and playing cards — including a few dirty tricks! Who has the moxie to cross the finish line first?
About the game
Zeppelin Derby is one of a series of small card games designed as part of my Aether Captains universe, set in the fictional steampunk world of the Grand Compact. I created these games to be enjoyed by both those new to boardgames and those who have been playing for years.
All the games use cards instead of a traditional game board and are therefore compact and portable for gaming anywhere as well as being quick to learn. I also believe strongly in games with positive theme that can be played by children and their parents together without a lot of ‘take that’ strategies.
