Sky Runner (1999)

About this game

Players take on the role of cat burglars and use a simultaneous bidding mechanism similar to Raj/Hol's der Geier to get cards that allow them to move up a skyscraper. However, the game system does add several new features to the genre such as sabotage, stealing equipment, and unique "parasite" cards. In addition, the unique 3-d board is modular to allow for different difficulties and game lengths.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
