The News

We've been holding it back for a while, but we've decided finally to AUCTION off the last new copy of Balmy Balloonists.

The Game

This collector's item is number 50. Unlike all of the other copies in the world, this one is made with wooden balloon pieces and sky blue wooden altitude adjusters. It also features fully laminated cards.

Balmy Balloonists is a strategy game in which players compete to be the first to fly their hot air balloons completely 'round the world. It can be played by anywhere from 2-6 players and special rules even permit challenging solitaire games.

Balmy Balloonists is designed for players aged 10 to adult and lasts between 15 and 90 minutes, depending on the number of players. Each game contains rules printed in both English and German. Rules translations in several other languages are available.
