From BoardGameGeek
Fractured Sky: Awakening is a collection of four modular expansions that deepen the tactical intensity of Fractured Sky, introducing powerful new ways to increase airship power, control unique abilities on the board, and race for new bounties that award starfalls. Return to the skies and discover new horizons All these expansions can be played together or separately (along with Rift micro-expansion, not included). With all four, Fractured Sky evolves into a much crunchier battlefield of timing, bluffing, and long-term planning. Payloads adds a thrilling push-your-luck layer by letting players sacrifice immediate rewards to secretly stockpile massive power for future reveals. Flagships introduce a rotating draft of powerful, asymmetric ships that reshape the board every round and rewards clever timing and positioning. Guardians bring roaming, board-changing entities that players can manipulate turning the map itself into a dynamic weapon. Bounties replace the hidden objective system with five always-visible, race-to-complete goals that drive open conflict, constant tension, and clear strategic direction every round. -description from the publisher
