On a player's turn, that player either expands an airline and claims a stock, plays stock onto the board and receives dividend, invests in a special airline called \u003cem\u003eAir ABACUS\u003c\/em\u003e or gets a certain amount of money from the bank. A player scores only for stock in play, but the value of an airline is determined by the value of the route licenses that airline owns – thus, you're torn in terms of what to play when.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome changes compared to \u003cem\u003eAirlines\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emap of Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eno \u003cem\u003eflight cards\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003especial \u003cem\u003eAir ABACUS\u003c\/em\u003e airline similar to the \u003cem\u003eUnion Pacific\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshare track system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseparate victory point and money systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eairplane miniatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eno sabotage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eup to 5 players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ereduced playtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome changes compared to \u003cem\u003eUnion Pacific\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eairplane theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emap of Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eno \u003cem\u003etrack cards\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAir ABACUS\u003c\/em\u003e is acquired by trading in other shares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshare track system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseparate victory point and money systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eup to 5 players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ereduced playtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ABACUSSPIELE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":636022961,"sku":"100062","price":37.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic895117_lg.jpg?v=1578608889","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/airlines-europe","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
