Build your prototype. Protect your secrets.

Lead a secret aerospace programme in BLACK SKY™, a competitive strategy card game for 2–5 players aged 14+. Gather specialist materials, build an advanced aircraft and recruit a team whose loyalty you cannot take for granted.

Every decision matters. Will you secure a valuable supply network, investigate a rival’s blueprint or trust an unvetted specialist when time is running out?

Engineer your winning aircraft

Choose from 42 distinct Modules across six essential systems: Airframe, Propulsion, Avionics, Sensors, Signature Control and Flight Computer. Balance Stealth, Performance and Reliability to meet the shared Flight Test targets.

Choose your allies carefully

Recruit specialists with useful abilities—but their hidden status could reveal a trusted colleague, an infiltrator or a double agent. Vet your team before relying on them, or take a calculated risk.

Stay ahead of the threats

New Threats arrive each round, challenging your plans and resources. Build useful Networks, adapt your strategy and keep your Exposure under control: secrecy matters when the final scores are counted.

Race towards the Final Test

The first completed aircraft triggers the Final Countdown. Finishing first earns a bonus, but victory goes to the completed prototype with the highest Final Test score. A carefully balanced aircraft can beat a hurried build.
