Description

Flight Plan is a card-pulling, investment, and market strategy, squeeze-your-eyes-tight-and-hope-for-good-luck game. Players use strategy to try to dominate the global airline industry by developing a network of routes, acquiring fleets of aircraft, and establishing hubs around the globe. But the daily briefing cards insert an element of chance, so even the best-laid strategy can be overcome. The daily briefing can increase your revenue, make you pay penalties, or end your turn. A few can ruin your airline.

The world is separated into six operating regions: North America (NA), South America (SA), Europe (EU), Africa (AF), Asia-Pacific (AP), and the Middle East (ME). 100 Routes connect 57 cities. 15 Cities have been identified as hubs. You can win in one of three ways:

1. Be the first to provide service to all six regions using a network of connected routes; connections to multiple regions can go through a single city.
2. Establish a hub in any three of the six operating regions.
3. Own all the short-haul routes in two adjoining North/South regions: [North America | South America], [Europe | Africa] or [Asia-Pacific | Middle East].
