Commercial Flights

The first commercial flight in the world took place on January 1st, 1914, and was piloted by Tony Jannus. Curiously, there was only one passenger on board: the Mayor of St. Petersburg at the time, Abram Phell, who paid US$ 400.00 to be taken from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Tampa, also in Florida.

Watch some gameplay:

Airlines Europe is about money, buying and selling shares, keeping an eye on the market and how much other airlines are growing. The next step after mastering this game is actually investing in the stock market! To beat this game, you'll need to be great at math, create strategies as the game goes on, and have good spatial awareness.

On a lighter side, the plane miniatures are beautiful: they resemble the aircrafts from that time.

Airlines Europe will teach you how to manage your money, your share portfolio, the route licenses still available, your own hand of cards, and how many shares a certain airline still has. You'll also have to work on your math skills, but you won't even notice yourself doing this. You'll have a lot of fun with your friends and family, but also learn a lot while playing this game!

Airlines Europe is a great lesson for the entire family! I highly recommend it for your collection!
