Turbulence
Requirements
Description
Story
It’s August 1981 in the midst of the Air Traffic Controller Strike. President Reagan has just ordered all controllers back to work. You determined to keep your job, have returned – only to find the situation is even more turbulent then before: more planes, less controllers, and high competition.
Overview
In this turbulent game you control 7 planes, of which 5 must reach your landing strip to win! You have three actions each turn with which you may:
- Take-Off: move one airplane onto the Air Currents
- Move: travel across one Air Current
- Rotate: turn one air tile right or left one turn
- Swap: swap two tiles
Seems simple right? Not exactly. Rotating and Swapping can only be done if your planes are touching the tiles. The more planes you have on the board, the more power you have. In the mean time your opponent will be trying to get their planes in and pushing or crashing (yes you can collide into other planes) to prevent you from getting there first!
You'll be swapping, pushing, rotating, crashing, landing, taking-off, and triple pushing in this game of TURBULENCE.

Fun game with lovely puzzle aspect, really good 2 player game with easy to understand graphics to match the rules.
I had lots of fun playing this game! Sometimes it is a puzzle to figure out a path. other times its's trying to screw up your opponent's paths. but no matter what your always thinking
This is a very nice, simple game that has some strategy to it and a somewhat puzzle-like aspect. It's easy to learn and fun to play-especially with the Enhancement cards (the optional rules that chang...
There aren't a lot of dedicated 3-player games around, so right off the bat I'm intrigued. It's clearly an abstract, but the playing pieces and air-traffic conceit are fun. Closest comparison I'd sa...
The reviews on here and BoardGameGeek speak the truth. It's a great game that is fun to play and easy to learn. Grab a couple friends and have a great time!
Turbulence was great fun and really gets each player involved with the rotate and swap mechanics. I do wish the components were a little larger because I take this to my parent's home to play and de...
I have played this with 2 players. In that case I was set up from the beginning whilst the wife had to struggle across the board. The board was just too small to make the turning/swapping tiles worthw...
I dont own it but it looks simple and pretty fun. Good work. :)
Turbulence is a frantic and fun game where each player takes on the role of an air traffic controller trying to land 5 planes. It turns out to be a bit of a puzzle rotating air lanes to get the right ...
