Quotes (from this video)
- This is an economic game that tests players strategy to build and operate a simple supply chain. Each player's goal is to make the most money by producing, selling, and shipping containers.
- It is a tough nut to crack because each time I play it's like I'm going to try something different and it never pans out the way I expect it to.
- The game is a close economy. Um, at the start of the game everybody has 20 bucks and that 20 bucks is just transferring between people on buying containers to put into their harbor, paying to pick up those containers to put them into their freight liners.
- At the end of the game, you remove the container of the same color that you have the most of. If I have four red and the rest are three, the reds are gone.
- This is one of the best games and I can't stop thinking about it. This is a 10 out of 10 for me.
- The price of this game is only $39.99.
- Push your luck is definitely by far my least favorite genre of everything.
- The game play changes over time as you get cards. So, it's not as strictly like a yachts where the game is the same at the start and at the end.
- The ones who have the most hazards from these prestige points, then you do not get to count those at all.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- combat resolution — Combat involves rolling dice based on range, with modifiers for hits and evasion. Special attacks and pilot abilities can also be used.
- Deck Building — The game's deck acts as the player's life, and running out of cards or having more damage cards than deck cards results in a crash.
- Hand Management — Players manage a hand of cards which represent their actions and are also their 'life' in the game.
- Maneuver cards — Players must play a maneuver card on their turn to move their plane, and having no maneuver cards leads to crashing.
- Pilot Abilities — Each plane has a unique pilot with a powerful, once-per-game ability.
- token management — Tactics tokens can be gained by discarding cards or landing on certain spaces, and are spent to perform special actions.
