Airlines Europe

2011 · Economic

Airlines Europe

Players build airline networks across a map of Europe by placing route licenses and deploying tiny airplane miniatures. On each turn a player either expands an airline and takes a share, plays shares to collect dividends, trades shares to acquire the special Air ABACUS company, or takes money from the bank. Company values come from the route licenses they hold, and scoring occurs at randomly determined intervals so timing share play and investments matters. The game separates victory points from money and supports up to five players, with a compact playtime and a share-track system that tracks ownership and payouts.
