Build Your Airport, Connect the World. Airport Empire is a thrilling tycoon board game where you'll compete to transform your small airstrip into a bustling international hub. To achieve this, you must balance the needs your your passengers, airlines and shareholders while managing daily events. Players roll the dice to earn money from fees paid by landing planes and improve your airport by either improving customer satisfaction, profits or efficiencies. Ensure you balance your needs to score in three categories, customer satisfaction, profits, and efficiencies. Secret missions, event cards and bonus cards keep you on your toes. You must constantly evaluate and be dynamic to ensure your airport is successful. But only one player can win. Whoever completes their score card in profits, efficiencies, and customer satisfaction takes victory - unless the secret missions have been achieved or not, which can change the balance of the points and crown a new victor. -description from the publisher
