Where it came from
Forbidden Sky, published by Gamewright in 2018, serves as the third entry in the cooperative survival board game trilogy designed by Matt Leacock. Following the success of Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert, this installment shifts the setting to a precarious floating platform high above the clouds. The game was developed to introduce more complex spatial and electrical components, centering on the physical assembly of a circuit that players must complete to launch a rocket while battling wind and lightning mechanics.
The game is characterized by its distinct visual style, featuring artwork that emphasizes a steampunk aesthetic, consistent with the thematic world-building established by the series. Leacock's design intent was to create a high-stakes collaborative experience where players manage limited resources and board layout to survive. Upon its release, it was generally well-received for its tactile complexity and the challenging, interconnected puzzle nature of its circuit-building mechanic, which elevated the difficulty curve from its predecessors.
