Read the full game description
1975 White Christmas is a historical logistics game about the final evacuation flights from Saigon. Players program aircraft movement, compete for valuable passengers and cargo, and manage the political and operational constraints of the shrinking airlift. Auctions and changing phase order create rivalry, while routes, capacity, and timing turn each aircraft into a small planning puzzle. The design supports competitive play and a dedicated solo mode, framing a tense pickup-and-deliver system around the last days of the Vietnam War.
