First came the island. Your team of adventurers found relics in temples sinking into the sea.
Next was the Desert. Crashed in the wastes, your team rebuilt an ancient flying machine to escape.
And now, high above the clouds, your team discovers an abandoned launch station from a lost space-faring civilization.
There’s just one problem. A deadly storm is coming. Can you rewire the station (creating a real electrical circuit) and gather your team for a rocket launch into the Forbidden Sky?
Forbidden Sky is the third in a trilogy of cooperative games by noted designer Matt Leacock. Each game in the series adds new challenges and levels of complexity to overcome.
Listen in to explore the game and discover why it deserves BOTH awards!
Complete Show Notes continue after the break.

The series is extensive and could be intimidating for new players. Katie's suggestion is... Colonial Twilight!
