It is the golden age of American aviation. You are an airline executive, entrepeneur, investor and capitalist. The next Howard Hughes. You invest your money in the various airlines portrayed in the game and attempt to expand those airlines to generate increased revenues. Air-Kwire is a game of business strategy; when to buy, when to sell, when and where to expand your empire. Mergers and acquisitions are an integral part of your business objectives. Or they can be used against you, depending on your foresight and how cut throat your opponents may be. Or how cut throat YOU may be. It's all here.

Air-Kwire is a 3 to 6 player game where the objective is to be the weathiest player at the end of the game. You accumlate wealth by increasing the size of the airlines for which you are a stock holder. The more cities serviced by an airline, the more valuable it becomes and the more revenue it generates. Of course some cities are more valuable than others. Some are completely worthless. Except for the airport located there, and the expanded routes having that airport may provide. It's up to you to decide. Geogrphical considerations are a major element in Air-Kwire.

Play is turned based with each player buying or selling stocks and creating new routes for his airlines during his turn. Dividends are paid after every 7 new routes are created. Empires shift throughout the game as players compete to build the best stock portfolio and expand their airline networks. Of course not all moves may necessarily be in the best interest of an airline's growth; depending on the different players' strategies. Sometimes what appears to be a bad move, my end up paying off big in the end.
