Airlines
Out Of Stock
Description
This is the progenitor of Union Pacific. The game is similar to the Sid Sackson classic, Acquire, in that players are competing to become majority stockholders in several highly-abstracted companies. Each turn, a player chooses from one of two actions: expand an airline and put stock into his hand, or play stock from his hand. The trick is that when a scoring card shows up (randomly), only played stock counts as a player's holdings. - BoardGameGeek
