At the height of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Empire prepares to transport a shipment of secret crates from its colonies. These crates contain everything the Emperor needs to consolidate power: steel, coal, ore, and above all, gold. For security reasons, the Emperor personally selects the crew of the Nostria, one of the imperial fleet's armed airships. However, neighboring nations are organizing a resistance, and traitors are sneaking aboard to thwart the Emperor's plans.

Mad Zeppelin is a fast-paced card game full of sabotage. Players use traitors to toss as much cargo as possible off the Nostria and ruin the Emperor's plans.
