Gameplay
Air Baron challenges players to build an airline empire in the United States by amassing a plurality of market share and liquid assets.
Players seek to gain dominance or control of hubs in order to amass market share. Dominance of a hub is gained by controlling the majority of associated domestic spokes; it carries a moderate income potential and market share gain. Control of a hub is gained by controlling all of the associated domestic spokes; it doubles the income potential and market share gain of dominance.
Any uncontrolled domestic spoke may be purchased at face value. Takeovers of controlled spokes require a higher fee and an opposed dice roll versus the controlling player. Several factors contribute both positively and negatively to each player's dice total.
If, at the end of his turn, a player has a combined total of market share and cash equal to or greater than the victory margin, he wins.
