1930: The Golden Age of Airlines

About this board game

1930: The Golden Age of Airlines is a board game for 2–6 players that takes about 120 minutes, set during the early stages of aviation. Players become aviation investors, promoters, and presidents, each pursuing the general objective of making money.

Wealth is accumulated mainly through owning stock tokens in the game’s ten airlines. These tokens offer two paths to financial growth: they can provide ready cash through dividend payments, and they can increase in value as the game progresses.

During the income action, stock tokens can pay dividends, giving players access to cash. At the same time, their changing value can strengthen a player’s overall holdings over the course of the game, making stock ownership central to building wealth.

1930: The Golden Age of Airlines focuses on the relationship between cash and stock. Players must pursue wealth through their airline holdings, balancing immediate income from dividends with the potential for stock tokens to become more valuable over time.

When the game ends, every player’s assets are counted in both cash and stock. The player with the most total assets wins, making the final outcome a measure of accumulated financial strength across the game’s airlines.
