This is a quick playing stock game where players invest in, and build out airline companies. As the airline gets more board presence, the stock becomes worth more points. When a scoring card flips, players get points for each stock they hold based on it's valuation position and based on their majority standing with that company. The actions are fueled by money and the flip luck of what stock cards you manage to draw. In terms of feel, this game is similar to Paris Connection and Chicago Express, but this game feels lacking in comparison, because the board is so open, and building in one direction vs another is fairly meaningless. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ☆ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ☆ Multiple plays stay interesting ☆ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★☆☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment
