Grand Central Skyport Review

"Your skyport has dual-colored stations that score when airships of the same color land in a corresponding lane next to the station. Getting a couple of tycoons to help boost your score or change the placement abilities doesn't hurt. But, there's a catch. Each airship card's ability rarely allows for getting an airship next to the intended station on the first go."

"You're running a major international Skyport, which sounds way cooler than it should. Your goal is to manage the arrival of new airships, build out new stations to increase capacity, and attract tycoons to support your venture. You're racking up points through some nicely layered mechanics."

"Grand Central Skyport is puzzly. But it's also got a light measure of chance. Your success relies on choosing the best card at the best time to best organize the busy airship traffic around your stations."

Grand Central Skyport tasks players with managing an international skyport by placing airship cards, moving around a rondel based on card values, and collecting stations and tycoons. The game features dual-colored stations that score when matching airship colors land in adjacent lanes. Success requires strategic card selection and timing to organize airship traffic effectively. Players accumulate points through set collection rules, bonus mechanics, and tycoon abilities. The game concludes when a station closing card is revealed, triggering a final scoring round where players multiply stars by airships and apply tycoon bonuses. While the design and artwork receive praise, the game's puzzle-heavy nature and complexity create mixed player experiences.
