About the game
Aerion is a solo or two-player dice game where you play an air-shipwright building magical airships in a dreamlike world called the Oniverse. Roll dice to gather blueprints, construction materials, and crew, discarding cards to adjust your rolls when luck isn't on your side. Careful resource management and push-your-luck decisions determine whether you build the most beautiful fleet. Six included expansion modules add fresh challenges to keep return visits interesting.
Hobbli's Notes
This is a lovely, low-footprint dice game that packs surprising depth into a quick 15-minute play. The solo mode is excellent for a quick brain-teaser, and the push-your-luck dice-adjustment mechanic keeps every roll meaningful. A great pick for solo gamers or a light two-player session.
What we like
