Each player also receives the following in their color:
•1 aeroplane, which he places in front of him on the table.
•1 scoring marker, which he places on square “0/100” on the scoring track.
•1 player’s board. The area on the right of the player’s board, showing an aeroplane, is used for the rangers. A summary of the rules can also be found on the left.
Separate the cards according to the designs on the back of each card, one stack for each different design. You should end up with four separate stacks.
Shuffle the 4 stacks separately. Remove 9 cards from each stack and place them face side up, next to the game board.
Remove the remaining cards from the game.
Starting with the youngest player and then moving around the table, each player takes a card from any pile. Repeat this so every player has 2 cards.
The back of the card shows the maximum number of rangers that may be put in one location.
The front shows where this location is!
It also tells you how much a player receives when the card is played.
Place the Australian dollars next to the game board.
For the simple (familiarization) Game, the windmill is not needed,
so it can be put back in the box.
