“The rhythm of scheduling flights and landing planes feels incredibly satisfying, with a clever delayed-action system that rewards planning without complexity.”

Worker placement that thinks ahead
In PDX you do more than place a worker and take an action. Place suitcases to line up extra actions on turns to come, and fly planes to build an engine that scales up your whole operation.
Planes are the heart of a strong airline, so you’ll plan routes that get the most out of every one. Your three types of workers turn timing into a fresh layer of strategy to explore.

Build your engine, then fine-tune it
Anytime actions let you rearrange routes, cancel flights and assign new destinations, so you’re always tweaking your airline as you land planes and collect cascading benefits.
Score points from destination networks and lucrative ad campaigns. Open private service offices too: other players earn a reward for visiting, and the offices keep paying you back.

Art from the golden era of air travel
Sean Wittmeyer designed PDX, and Portland’s own Skinny Ships created its stunning art. You get the strategic depth of a European-style game, wrapped in an aviation theme that really shapes how you play.
Up to 4 players each run a unique airline, and dozens of illustrations across the player boards, tiles and ad campaign posters bring the whole game to life.

Quality you can feel, from tray to tokens
A custom component tray, high-quality tiles and tokens, and clear, intuitive graphic design that keeps the game moving.

Colin@despelbreker “A strong optimization puzzle where timing and sequencing really matter.”

Shipping and help
Where does it ship from?
From a warehouse in your region: Lenexa, Kansas for the US, plus warehouses in Canada, the UK, Germany (for the EU) and Australia (for Australia and New Zealand). Our fulfillment partner, Allplay, sells and ships every order, and the box above shows which warehouse is yours.
Will I pay customs or tariffs?
Not when it ships from the warehouse in your region. The game is already in your country, so there’s nothing to pay at your door.
What does shipping cost?
$4 in the US. $9 to Canada, the UK and the EU. $14 to Australia and New Zealand. Every extra item in the same order ships free.
What if a piece is missing or damaged?
Replacement parts are free. Tell us what’s missing or damaged through our contact form, along with your mailing address, and we’ll get the bits to you as fast as we can. There’s always a real person ready to help.

The sky’s the limit. Time to build your airline.
PDX sits right between gateway games and heavy strategy, with fresh ideas and a theme that’s woven into every decision.
