About the game
Pirates are plundering Celestia's flying cities and escaping. Embark on a perilous chase in your aircraft to catch them before it's too late! Coordinate efficiently to foil numerous ambushes... but without being able to tell each other everything. Includes 2 3D aircraft to assemble! The Celestia universe expands in this cooperative game for 2 players with limited communication, mixing chase, risk-taking and strategy. During your journey, cleverly share cards to foil ambushes. Anticipate your partner's hand, because if one of you, on his turn, can't fight a die, the aircraft will take damage. Stop off at the right time in the flying cities to refuel and recruit passengers with useful skills... At the risk of letting the pirate leader get away! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Celestia Duo supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Celestia Duo is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Celestia Duo for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Celestia Duo has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
