Read the full game description

You have been thrust into the world of airline booking, and tasked with managing competing airlines. You have to satisfy each passenger's different needs to score prestige for your airline. Book too few passengers, and you may not be able to fill your flight. Book too many, however, and some passengers will obviously be really unhappy. In a turn, you pick a passenger card with the orientation, quantity and type (colour) of passengers depicted on the card. You, then, seat the passengers onto the plane according to the passenger card. When any type of passenger runs out, the end game is triggered and points are counted and scored. Can you be the one who satisfies the most passengers and be the most prestigious airline?
