Aviation Tycoon (2017)

About this game

In Aviation Tycoon, players buy stock in four airline companies as they fly passengers across various airline routes. When an airline route is used, that airline gets paid. When dividends are paid, those with stock get paid — and keep getting paid until the airline has no money left (assuming the funds can be easily divided among the shareholders). Special event cards can close airports, double payouts for using routes, etc. Special player cards give each player access to a special ability (which all share during a round).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
