Now Boarding

About this board game

Now Boarding is a real-time cooperative board game for 2–5 players, with play sessions lasting about 60 minutes. Together, you operate a fleet of airplanes and work to deliver every passenger to their destination.

The challenge is constant: new passengers keep arriving while those already waiting can become increasingly angry. Your team must coordinate its flights and manage the growing demands of the passengers before the situation gets out of hand.

Each airplane can be upgraded to fly faster and carry more passengers. These upgrades help your fleet handle the workload, giving the team more ways to respond as passengers continue to appear.

• Cooperative play for 2–5 players
• Real-time decision-making with all players taking turns simultaneously
• Airplane upgrades that improve speed and passenger capacity
• Passenger pick-up-and-deliver gameplay across a fleet of airplanes

The defining twist in Now Boarding is that everyone takes their turns at the same time. This creates opportunities for clever hand-offs of passengers between players, making communication and coordination central to every flight.

Released in 2018, Now Boarding offers a new level of pick-up-and-deliver gameplay. If your group enjoys working together under pressure, managing passenger movement, and coordinating simultaneous actions, this cooperative flight challenge puts the entire team on the same schedule.
