over 9 years ago – Tue, Jul 05, 2016 at 05:48:05 AM

Dear Backers,  

First, I wish to send congrats to our US backers for a very happy Independence day ;) I wish to update you that we passed the $22,500 mark and we just unlocked another SG.  

Unlocked SG - Upgraded player tokens--even more planes!  

This SG will replace the player’s wooden tokens for a new set of plastic plane tokens (5 in each color).  

Note: Due to the amount of components--this new mode will be available only in the Limited Edition.  

Next SG - New sticker sheet - Unique Plane decorations  

Each player will get a unique set of stickers that he can apply to his Tail section - so you can distinguish and personalize your airliners. This new set of stickers will be available only for the Limited edition (Mogul pledge level and up).  

Upcoming SG - $27,500 :  

I wish to get you guys to pick the upcoming SG from these options:  

• Transparent Round Token (replacing the cardboard token) - added to each Limited edition copy.  
• New set of Sticker for the rest of the plane sections - added to each Limited edition copy.  
• 5 new Building cards - added to each Limited edition copy.  

Please mark your choice on the main comment section.

Last 48 hours  

We are entering the last few hours of our KS campaign, I wish to thank all the new backers that joined in and the rest of you that funded my next game.  

I wish us all good luck and better funding,  

Yours,

Update #7: New SG unlocked - The campaign mode!
almost 10 years ago – Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 09:25:58 PM

Dear Backers,  

I wish to update you that we passed the $20,000 mark and we just unlocked another (!) SG, and this is a big game changer:  

Campaign Mode:    

This is one of the biggest leaps I made in Airline’s design. I designed a new mode that will enable a very cool Campaign. The campaign mode will introduce a new set of rules, a new scoring pad and a new set of cards (!).

This new deck will be the Trophy deck. These new cards will represent a set of Trophy cards the players might get by the end of the game based on their performance. These cards will be in used in the next game of Airlines! After a complete set of 3 games - You will have an ultimate winner - the best Airliner.  

You can play this new mode with the Solo mode. Note: Due to the amount of components - this new mode will be available only in the Limited Edition.  

Next SG - Upgraded player tokens - even more planes!  

This SG will replace the player’s wooden tokens for a new set of plastic plane tokens (5 one in each color).  

Note: Due to the amount of components - this new mode will be available only in the Limited Edition.  

Last few days  

We are entering the last week of our glorious campaign, I wish to thank each of you guys (and ladies) for backing my game. Each new backer will make the game better - this is not a slogan! This is how we invest your funds back to the product we designed and believe in.  

Please help us spread the word so we can achieve unlock more SG:

Post this link on your favourite gaming forums.  Each social engagement might lead to a new backer that never heard about Airlines - this is the power of KS and without your kind support we would not have ANY of our games published (!)

More news - Production has begun!

As we are well funded and our deadlines are coming fast (you would not know how fast 4 months goes by…), I ordered from our manufacturer, the first batch of Plane models!

Also, we are wrapping up more artwork so we can start proofing our final printing matters shortly. I wish to share some cool stuff we just got from Naomi:

And more - New rules for the Advanced Game

As promised - I am posting here the new rules for the advanced game. 

The rules are in Beta mode (un-proofed and still may have serious changes).

 If you can help me and point out my blunders - I would love to get your comments!

As always, I am very excited about our progress - I hope we can unlock EVERYTHING I planned for you guys,

Update #5: New SG unlocked - Solo mode !
almost 10 years ago – Sun, Jun 19, 2016 at 09:07:01 PM

Dear Backers,

I wish to update you that we passed the $15,000 mark and we just unlocked another (!) SG

Solo mode:

This new mode includes a special 6 card deck and a dedicated rule section that will be covered on the advanced rulebook.

This new feature for a solitaire game will be inside of each “Airline - Limited Edition” copy.

Next SG - 3 new Goal cards:  

This new set of Goal cards will open a new Scoring Tier - Passengers diversity! These new cards can be added to each game of Airlines, they will score each player's points based on the Passengers carried on each Airliner at the end of the game. This SG will added to each “Airline"  copy.

Upcoming SG - New Player tokens - more planes!

As YOU guys voted the next SG (at $22,500) will be a new set of player tokens (5 player colors) that will consist of 5 new 15mm plane tokens that will match the player’s colors. These tokens are used to accumulate points on the very thematic point track (or should I say Runway).

Let’s keep the SG going !

Please comment on the main comment section with your aspirations/suggestions for more cool SG - I do not promise to do them all - but I definitely do my best to listen and communicate so we can decide what YOU want on your copy of “Airlines”,

Yours,

Elad  

Update #4: SG unlocked! New set of tokens Terminal Tokens
almost 10 years ago – Sun, Jun 19, 2016 at 08:29:43 PM

Dear Backers,  

First, we wish to send our condolences and best wishes to all of the victims and families of victims of the horrible Orlando shooting.

Addressing the kickstarters progress, we are thankful to announce that just reached $13,000 and we are almost 200 backer strong.

This means that we also unlocked a new set of tokens that will be in EVERY copy of Airlines!

Next SG: Solo mode

Airlines plays well at all player counts but I also managed to make a really good solitaire mode that will test your management skills against yourself! Just like in Agricola - you can start your own Airline company and try to be accumulate VP as fast as you can.This mode will be playable only with the Limited edition. (Rules and the use of advance cards). 

I expect that this solitaire game should be challenging and run under 90 minutes.

Upcoming SG :

As funding is going really well (thanks to yours great efforts and support), I wish to ask for your opinion on our future SG ($22,500) that we wish to add to the current SG Table.

Please state the option with a number and place it on the main comment section (not in the update section).All options are applicable to the Limited Edition.

• Option 1: Replace the Round player tokens with cool 3D colored plane models (plastic).
• Option 2: Add a new set of Stickers that will enhance visual appearance for each plane.
• Option 3: Replace the current round marker with a cool transparent token (plastic). 

 I wish to thank each and everyone of you,

Yours,

Elad
