Worker Placement with a Twist
PDX goes beyond placing workers and taking an action each turn. Place suitcases and plan out extra actions on upcoming turns, and fly planes to establish an engine to scale up your operation.
Planes
are at the heart of a strong airline and you’ll plan out routes to get the most out of each one. All three types of workers create a unique temporal strategy layer to explore.
Build Your Engine, Then Tune It to Perfection
Through strategic anytime actions—rearranging routes, canceling flights, assigning new destinations—you're constantly fine-tuning your airline's performance as you land planes to collect cascading benefits.
Score points through destination networks, lucrative advertising campaigns, and private service offices that reward other players for visiting while generating ongoing benefits for you.
Engaging Art from the Golden Era of Air Travel
Designed by Sean Wittmeyer with stunning art by Portland-based Skinny Ships, PDX combines the strategic depth of European-style games with an engaging aviation theme that truly enhances gameplay.
