Description

In Air King you are an air traffic controller. Your task is to be the first one to guide and land certain aircraft. To make things tricky, however, each player has his own task that's hidden from others, so sometimes it's useful to bluff in order to give false information to other players as to which aircraft are yours.

At the start of the game, all ten aircraft wait next to the ariports in order to depart. Each player receives a task card, which shows four (out of ten) aircraft that you have to guide to the opposing airport. Players keep their task card hidden from opponents. On a turn, a player draws an action card, moves two aircraft (not necessarily those on his task card), and plays up to two action cards; these cards give extra movement to some aircraft or block other aircraft. When all four aircraft on a player's task card are landed, he can reveal his task card on his turn and win the game.
