ABSTRACT:
A board game for two or more players wanting to experience the common pleasures and pitfalls of airline travel, and the method of playing same, which preferably involves a game board, a distinguishable traveler game piece for each player, luggage game pieces which are easily connected and disconnected from traveler game pieces, travel advancing and delaying ticket-styled instruction cards, tokens, and a pair of identically numbered dice. The object of the game is to be the first player to complete a predetermined number of circuits around the game board and return to the Start/Finish "Airport" square by exact count with original luggage. Before play begins, players decide the number of completed circuits required to win. The game board has a continuous travel path around its perimeter with landing sites each having at least one player instruction; a Start/Finish "Airport" square connected to the travel path; two central areas for positioning ticket-styled instruction cards and "lost luggage"; and centrally located airport-related illustrations. Luggage game pieces must be recovered prior to reaching the Start/Finish "Airport" square during each circuit of travel path, not just at the end of the game. Identically numbered dice, in combination with instructions on landing sites and ticket-styled cards which can be selected by players rolling "doubles," are preferably used to determine traveler game piece movement, while tokens are optionally awarded to each player as a tally of the number of completed circuits around the travel path to help determine the game winner.
