AEROPOLY Aviation Board Game The rules of AEROPOLY are simple and all ages can play. This is a fun board game based on aviation. The rules resemble Monopoly, with a touch of Parcheesi. The Objective of the Game: Each pawn is moved in a clockwise direction on the board until they finish by circling the board and coming in to the “GO” spot to win. It can be played by up to eight players who need to move their aeroplane pawn pieces around the board. At the beginning of the game, each player will throw one dice. The player who gets the highest value starts the game and play will proceed in a clockwise order. Playing Board: Each player selects their own colored aeroplane token. They place their token on the board near the space labelled “Go”. They are to “Land and Hold Short” and may place it on the board at “Go” only when their first turn to move arrives. Sectors: There is a multicolored crossed board on which the aeroplane pawns are moved. The crossed board consist of four geographic air sectors which contain airports considered Class A, B, C, D, E or military. Aeroplanes must conform to their class and size restrictions. Class A Red Border Class B Yellow Border Class C Green Border Class D Gold Border Class E – includes grass strips Blue Border Military Airports Fringed Borders The Dice:  are traditional dice with dots imprinted on it with representations of numbers from 1-6. At each turn, each player will throw down two dice however will be allowed to select only ONE dice “to play”. For example, if a player throws down a “2” and a “4”, he may choose to play either a “2” OR “4”, but not 6.  The only exception is when a player throws down a double. While they may only advance to the level of one dice, they are allowed another throw. For example, if a player throws down a “4” and “4”, he will move forward 4 steps but then throw again and move forward.  There is a maximum of two throws per turn. Aeroplane pawns: of up to eight available colors which represent eight aeroplane.  The pawns are moved forward along the boards according to the points depicted by the rolled dice.  Initially, each player rolls the dice and only when an aeroplane token player brings up a “1” on their dice, will they be allowed to move their pawn on the board. This will be done by a singular dice.  Once you are out on your starting point, your pawn is required to move through the whole board. If you are “eaten” you return to the home square and wait until you roll a “1” to re-start play.  The first aeroplane pawn to go around the board to reach “Go” is declared the winner. White Cards: At the beginning of the game, each player will choose one White Card which will represent an aeroplane pawn. Each aeroplane pawn will be limited as to possible landing at each spot, based on their description, runway length and classification. Some smaller planes will not be allowed to land at Class A or B airports, while some of the larger airplanes will not be able to land at smaller airfields. A pawn will be restricted from landing at an inappropriate 2 airport. For example, the Piper Pacer can land at grass, Class D, Class C airports. “Air Force One” can land only at Class B and Military airports. White Cards – These have a photo of an aeroplane. The following table shows true aeroplane specifications. A plane must comply with these real aeroplane limits. For example, the Boeing 777 may not land on a grass field but is limited only to those airports that can accept them. (Longest runway dimensions are from https://AirNav.com).
