Claim the
world's busiest skies
Collect flight cards, spend them to claim real air corridors between fifty world hubs, and race to build the biggest network on Earth. Every route on the board is one people actually fly, from Jeju to Seoul to the ultra long hauls. Free, no ads, no accounts.
Draw cards. Claim routes.
Own the map.
Skylanes is easy to teach and hard to put down. On your turn you do one thing: draw two flight cards, or spend a matched set to claim a corridor. The board fills fast, the good routes get taken, and the last plane on the table triggers everyone's final turn.
Gather flight cards
Eight colors plus the First Class wild. Draw from the face-up row or off the top of the deck, and hold your cards close.
Spend a matched set
Play cards of one color to claim a corridor of that length. Claim it and it is yours for the rest of the game. Length one scores a point, length six scores fifteen.
Finish your itineraries
Secret Itinerary tickets pay big if your network links their two cities, and cost you the same if it does not. The longest continuous path takes the Globetrotter bonus.
Every corridor is a route people fly
The board is not invented. Cities wear their real IATA codes and the corridors trace the most heavily traveled passenger routes on the planet, drawn from published traffic data. Here is the departures board.
Fifty cities.
One crowded sky.
The whole world fits on the table
Nine kinds of flight card
Eight colors named for the hours you actually fly, plus the First Class wild that stands in for any of them. Match a set to a corridor and it is yours.
Five ways to play
On one iPad passed around the couch, across the room over Bluetooth, or with a friend three time zones away who answers on their own schedule.
Solo vs AI
Three opponents with real personality, from the easygoing Puddle Jumper to the ruthless Captain. A quick game any time.
Pass & play
Two to five people, one device. A privacy handoff screen hides your hand while the tablet goes around the room.
Nearby
Everyone on their own screen in the same room over Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi. No internet, no logins, no waiting.
Over text
Play turn by turn right inside a conversation. Make your move, send the bubble, get back to your day. It waits for you.
Online
Match with friends anywhere and take your turns when it suits you. The game holds the state and pings you when it is your move.
Itineraries & bonuses
Secret tickets, the Globetrotter longest-path bonus, and the First Class ferry mechanic on the great ultra long hauls.
Skylanes is the game.
Row1 is the real thing.
On this board you claim the routes you wish you flew. In Row1, you claim the ones you actually did. It is the flight logbook and the game for people who travel too much: log every leg, chase over three hundred artistic badges, become King of your home route, and see your whole life on the map.
Skylanes is free because it is a love letter to Row1. If the board is fun, the real thing is better.
