Planes (2014)

About this game

From the rails to the air — well, hopefully. Planes puts you in the role of a group attempting to push your way through a crowded airport to reach your plane before takeoff. Other players' families or groups, as well as neutral travelers, will cause all sorts of congestion in the terminal and may keep you from boarding. With cards that affect play and allow bonus scoring, in addition to variable airport maps, Planes is the next phase in global travel from AEG's Destination Fun series! Continue your travels in the acclaimed Trains and Automobiles board games.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
