They Call it Shipping for a Reason

There Will Be Games

If you've read previous posts and entries of mine, you will know that an elusive goal of mine is a game that captures the essence of airlines.  Air Baron is a pretty decent game but it doesn't feel like I'm running an Airline.  Airline might be that game, but it sucks ass.  You guys gave me a link to an Airline game that was on the Nintendo and that was pretty close to what I was looking for.   If someone would translate that into a boardgame, I would be a happy camper.  I've been thinking of some mechanics for it but....

 Anyways, another elusive goal of mine is a game that deals with shipping.  Second to planes in my books are ships (especially warships...but that is a different story).  I have a game called "Distant Seas", it is actually a pretty decent game.  You can buy different ships and get different loads based on those ships.  There is an event deck where either shit can happen or you could end up getting a bonus on the next delivery.   The loads are varied and the game actually feels like you are running a shipping company.  The components aren't the greatest (counters for ships and the cards are kind of flimsy).

I also played "Container" but I did not like that game.  It seemed like we were fighting the economy more than running ships.  Maybe with the right people, it would be a nice game (the components were nice though).

I think something like "distant seas" set in the Great Lakes would be cool.  combine it with a train game, and you have something.
