Read the full game description
Air Postal is an economic route-building game inspired by the pioneering airlines and pilots of the 1920s and 1930s. Players accept objectives, invest in aircraft, load cargo or passengers, refuel, and attempt flights across a world map. Route colors determine the dice rolled, while distance, fuel, pilot endurance, and engine reliability decide whether a delivery succeeds. Investments and network connections reward long-term planning, but every expansion must survive the practical limits of early aviation. Solo and competitive modes support one to four players.
