NOW BOARDING GAME UPGRADE UPGRADE

There are three types of actions you can take: move, pick up passengers, and drop off passengers. Once the timer has been flipped, all of the players take their actions simultaneously.

NOW BOARDING GAME UPGRADE UPGRADE

Each plane starts with one seat, 3 speed, and one route, and you get a chance to add one upgrade to your plane at the beginning of the game. This is when the players need to talk about their plans for the upcoming round.Įach player’s plane has a cockpit, seats, speed tiles, and route tiles. The amount of seats you have tells you how many passengers you can carry the combined speed number tells you how far you can move each round and the route symbols tell you which special routes you can take. You won’t know where they need to go until the sand timer is flipped. When you add passenger cards to the board before each round, you’ll place them face-down so you’ll know where those passengers need to be picked up but not where they need to go. You’ll also add weather tokens to the board at the start of each stage, which can make some routes tougher (storms) or easier (tailwinds) to get through. You’ll be adding a set amount of passengers to the board each round based on the number of players, and when a passenger deck is depleted you move on to the next stage. The pilots work for the same airline, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to satisfy as many passengers as possible.Įach stage of the game consists of multiple rounds. Now Boarding is played over three stages-Morning, Afternoon, and Night-which cover one day in the lives of 2-5 pilots. The game was designed by Tim Fowers ( Burgle Bros.) and is published by Fowers Games. Now Boarding is a real-time pick-up and deliver game in which you are pilots trying to get passengers to their destinations before they become too unhappy. This Now Boarding review was made after playing the game eight times. We were sent a copy of this game by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
