About the game

What is Kites?

The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and you know just what to do — gather your friends to fly some kites! In Kites, everyone works together to keep all their kites — represented by colorful sand timers — in the air. Take turns playing cards, flipping the sand timers, and coordinating with other players to ensure none of the timers run out. If it does, a kite has crashed! Add complication cards for additional challenges. Play all of the kite cards in the deck, and everybody wins!
