hire an addtional helper

To hire a first additional helper the active player must discard as many dice as necessary to reach a minimum value of of 15. The player then checks
the box at the top left of the Boarding Sheet to indicate the hiring. They take a fifth die which they can add to the others on the next turn.

To hire a second additional helper the active player must discard as many dice as necessary to reach a minimum value of 20. The player then checks
the box at the top right of the Boarding Sheet to indicate the hiring. They take a sixth die which they can add to the the others on his next turn.

A player may not hire more than two helpers.

pass
The active player can choose to pass at any time, even if they have not used all their dice, but they cannot play again until the next turn.

Once all the players have passed, we move on to a new game turn.
All players get their dice back.

Flip each Passenger card onto the Call Number card below it to form a new deal.
If necessary, add as many Bonus Cards as needed to make 3 available.

The player holding the First Player Card passes it to the player on their left.
GAME TURN / example
Eva (left) rolled a 6, a 5, a 4 and a 1, so she could either use all her dice to hire an additional helper, but then would not be able
to board a passenger, or use her dice to board two passengers.
James (right) rolled a 6, two 3’s and a 2, so he doesn’t have enough to hire an addiotional helper but he too can board on several
passengers.

•1• Eva chooses to board the leftmost passenger, as their requirements can be met. She uses her 4 die (the call number being a
minimum of 2) to boardthe passenger with a 5 value passport, which she places near a window.

•2• In doing so, she fulfills the conditions for obtaining the central bonus card (three seats next to occupied windows).
She takes the card and keeps it next to her boarding sheet.

•3• It’s James’ turn, he chooses to board the rightmost passenger, he uses his 6 die and his two 3 dice (the call number is 11
minimum). He then places the passenger in a seat to the right of the aircraft and completes his turn.

•4• On her turn Eva chooses to board the central passenger, she uses her die 5 and her die 1 (minimum call value 6).

•5• She places them in a seat to the left of the center aisle and once again fulfills the requirements for a bonus card (the leftmost
one, requiring that all seats adjacent to the center aisle be occupied).
She takes the Bonus Card and keeps it next to her boarding sheet.

•6• James has only one die 2 left, he uses it to board the leftmost passenger and places him according to his requirements near a
window.

Eva has one 6 die left but has no way to use it, so she skips her turn. James has no dice left and passes his turn as well.

No planes have been filled, so the players proceed to set up a new round of play.
Eva and James collect their dice, turn over the Passenger cards and place them face up on the bottom of their pile.

A new round can begin.
