	Description Edit \| History

This game, ostensibly about airlines vying for control of the American skies, comes off as more of a war game. In an effort to control major-city hubs, players pay and roll the dice to take over individual spokes. Income is generated by randomly selecting purchased spokes and controlled hubs. When one player controls a certain percentage of the market and has accumulated a certain amount of money, that player wins.
