From BoardGameGeek
In Sky 5, players push their luck as they build a tableau of colorful sky cards, trying to assemble one of each of the five colors to complete a Sky 5. Each turn presents a simple but tense decision: draw a card to grow your tableau, or roll the die to try to bank the cards you already have. Drawing cards helps you work toward the perfect five-color collection, but it comes with risk. If you reveal a color you already have, the card may end up helping your opponents instead. Rolling the die offers a chance to secure your points, but only if the result does not match any value in your tableau. If it does, you bust and lose the cards you were hoping to score. Quick to learn and full of nail-biting decisions, Sky 5 is a lively push-your-luck game where timing is everything. Build the right collection, roll at the right moment, and bank your points before the sky turns against you. -description from the publisher
