About the game
In Overbooked, you step into the shoes of an airline manager tasked with filling your flights with passengers, but without overbooking! Your mission is to meet each traveler's needs to gain prestige and become the most renowned airline. Each turn presents a strategic decision: you select a passenger card, which indicates the quantity, type (color), and orientation of passengers. Then, it's time to fit them perfectly into the plane's seats, following the chosen card's layout. Be careful not to leave too many seats empty, as this means losing scoring opportunities. But if you overbook, dissatisfaction will come knocking! The game ends as soon as one type of passenger runs out, and then it's time to tally who achieved the highest score. It's a fast-paced and visual game that tests your planning and adaptation skills, perfect for those who enjoy a spatial puzzle and optimization challenge with a thematic aviation twist. Think carefully, arrange your passengers, and get ready to take off towards victory!
