Description
Players toss out ballast cards of varying weights and rise
by corresponding amounts, racing to be the first to reach the altitude goal. But a throw is also a "to-hit" roll which may go into another's balloon and force it downwards. In addition, it may hit a crewmember, knocking them out yet causing the target balloon to once again rise.
