About the game
Panic In The Air is a card game where parachutists try to break a free-fall record against other players. Each player draws cards from a deck and plays cards to a pile in front of them until their hand is empty and they pull the rip-cord. Cards may score points, buckle or unbuckle a parachute or trigger special effects such as wind blowing cards from one player's pile to the next. Win by having the most points in your deck without dying before the end.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
