Skyrockets

Skyrockets: Festivals of Fire is a fast-paced, real-time cooperative game from Floodgate Games, designed by Charlie McCarron with art by Silly Jellie. Inspired by Kites: Time to Fly, this game invites 2–5 players to become magical fireworks apprentices, aiming to dazzle crowds across 30 unique festival events. The goal is to keep your fireworks—represented by colourful sand timers—going without letting any run out, all while progressing along the Festival Countdown Track to earn top ratings. 

Each turn, players play a card and flip the matching sand timers, ensuring none expire. If a timer runs out, the team loses a star token; lose all three, and the game ends. The game includes 30 different festival scenarios, each presenting unique challenges to overcome.  With gameplay sessions lasting around 10–15 minutes, Skyrockets offers a blend of quick thinking, teamwork, and a touch of magical mayhem.
